I'm inclined to concur, as well as offer a gentle but firm rebuke to Rod for perhaps jumping a little _too_ quickly at Garrett's throat. We need source code policing, but it's not entirely appropriate to start shooting people who are out 5 minutes after curfew just 8 hours after *impending* martial law is declared. After the balloon goes up and we can point to at least 72 hours worth of warning, then it's time to start unholstering our weapons and looking for targets. I think we need to be a little more politic during the transition period, however. I'm the one who will ultimately be stuck with any breakage and feel as conservative about change as anyone here, but I have no desire to alienate the bread-and-butter of our project in doing so. A little moderation may be called for here! Nobody needs a flame war in these lists just 2 days before code freeze! Jordan
