Hope this is enough :-) That's great, thanks! I'll be (mostly) AFK for a few days, but will hopefully get to make another pass on this on the weekend. One concern I had was that by duplicating what's in src/UPDATING, there's the opportunity for these to be inconsistent (or appear to be inconsistent from the viewpoint of people who might not know the difference). Originally I just had a reference to src/UPDATING. Whatever the end state is, this document and src/UPDATING should be consistent...clearly there is more time to work that out. Thanks again! Bruce. PS. current@ and doc@ members, please continue discussions, I'll catch up later.
