Whenever I speak up on something, I've been relentlessly giving in-depth rationale behind what I am proposing, or having concern with (yes, that goes as far as muting of mkdir's -- and as a matter of fact, I've always been saying something like muting them is fine unless you want them vocal -- which IMHO clearly shows that I'm not trying to enforce anything which goes below a reasonable style bar). > Let's just 1) pick a convention, 2) stick to it, and 3) take measures so > everybody can be made aware of it. I'm worried about this 3rd part. The main problem with 3rd part is that most people don't care as long as their ports build and package, and this attitude spans Makefile and commit logs contents. That said, I have nothing against the convention, as long as it, uhm, makes sense. :) ./danfe
