Agreed. I do not know if this happened in this case. That's why I used the term "common sense" in my original message. At the absolute least, a polite email to the maintainer, possibly with a note in the commit log to that effect, would go a long way towards removing these kinds of questions. In this case there were no notes in the commit logs, leading us to merely speculate. mcl
