You say this, but every time someone quotes a relevant refuting part of the GLEP, you ignore it. Try this one: "News items must only be for important changes that may cause serious upgrade or compatibility problems. Ordinary upgrade messages and non-critical news items should remain in einfo notices. The importance of the message to its intended audience should be justified with the proposal." Now, the news item in this thread seems relevant to that. WIthout doing what it says one will have a fairly major headache on their hands after upgrading. The other example news item does not fit these criteria, there will be no major headache, there will be a warning that can be quickly fixed. > > > Things like this happened at least a few times in the recent > > discussion.
