If I'm mistaken, I'm sure someone will correct me. But that's why I perceive the propasal as mostly affecting developers (in the sense of people who do any code-tinkering, not just committers). > Assuming it were relevant to just the users of -CURRENT, how can > you be sure that only 10% of them would benefit? To be fair and The 10% figures were hypotheticals to demonstrate which figure I believed to be relevant. They weren't meant to be accurate, aside from both being smaller than unity. IMHO, though, I generally find it reasonable that those who have an opinion on a propsal should take it upon themselves to speak up, rather than waiting to be polled. But as you say, the proposal must be set forth in an appropriate venue. -- Matthew Hunt * UNIX is a lever for the http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * intellect. -J.R.
