A philosophy with which I agree. :) There were only 2 changes merged, going back and looking at the logs for them could not have been that much of a burden. That said, for RELENG_8 commits during the freeze re@ did ask in one of their many messages about commit approvals to paste the complete commit message in the MFC. So, bad Alfred, no cookie. :) Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
