It would definitely be better -- but it would require further local changes to the FreeBSD web infrastructure, and the version of send-pr that we distribute in the base of every system. While patches are welcome, please note that it would also be a long time before every old version of send-pr, that does not have these features, would be retired, and thus this classification algorithm would be required in the mean-time. mcl
