That makes the effort less for the person requesting removal, and reduces their margin of error. Whether or not gentoo can/wants to do the same, eh. Just when I saw it I though "Nice, this is waaay better then the standard 'you did wrong, try again' ". -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
