I think this whole topic is another piece of evidence for the, "Not everyone should be running -current" case. All of the development plans for yarrow and its ancillary pieces have been discussed ad nauseum, and yet some people still refuse to even come within pissing distance of a clue. If the harvesting bothers you THAT much, submit patches or install 4.2. While I tend to be rather impatient regarding things like broken builds or prolonged instability on -current; things like this that are A) directly related to ongoing development, B) temporary, and C) improving, are part of the price. If it's too much of a price to pay, help fix it (the right way) or run another branch. Doug -- So what I want to know is, where does the RED brick road go? Do YOU Yahoo!?
