Any statement that a headsup is *not* a good idea is just nonsense. No criticism of PHK and the warnings -> panics was intended by me. The tone I was selecting was simply one of extremly mild "would have been nice". This has now blown up into a major lovefest along the usual lines. I'm sorry- I had no intention of inducing such. It has taken me 8 minutes to type this as 99% of my 144KBit DSL is consumed by something else and I'm remote- I'm sure we'd all like to consume less bandwidth now as this is a topic that never seems to resolve no matter how much flammage and discussion occurs - the usual suspects have made the usual claims - can we tokenize this so that in the future we could have soemthing like: mjacob: #1! phk: #24! gog: #33? 2#.... #33!
