All this talk of severity, and no talk of "ease of detection" or "ease of fixing"... Allow me to explain. There are certain not particularly high impact issues that can very easily be detected, and with 100% reliability, by The Thing About Which We Do Not Talk. Any individual one of these doesn't look like such a big deal, but when we're talking a couple of hundred instances, all of which can easily be fixed in less overall time than it would take to even detect one instance of a particular severe problem, it's most definitely worth concentrating on the 'easy' issue. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Wearer of the shiny hat) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Sig_l49gAGqUrUkZFlFM+Y_VhEp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEA0Kj96zL6DUtXhERAlJJAKCA1LFzLlXqVUwwtgSe/ge8qv7jpwCgq8Hq bY+1vgsRa1X6PgJVO4rtxaI= =R28V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_l49gAGqUrUkZFlFM+Y_VhEp-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
