Agreed, although, I don't even remember this coming up two years ago. But, I was tied up with a lot of work-related stress and tasks, so probably just my memory storage backend not having enough cycles to commit it to...neurons. IMHO, perhaps future GLEPs should have a defined window to implement them following discussion. Having the discussion, then waiting a few years before implementing them leads to discussions like this where we're arguing about the color of the boat after the boat has sailed off into the distance. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS kumba@gentoo.org rsa6144/5C63F4E3F5C6C943 2015-04-27 177C 1972 1FB8 F254 BAD0 3E72 5C63 F4E3 F5C6 C943 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
