I can't claim credit for the idea; plenty of other folks have had the
same idea, and I'm sure plenty of our users are already doing this for
themselves in their own way.

Please be assured that Chris's comments today haven't discouraged me
(or, as best I know, any of the other contributors) from making this
happen.

I was hoping to avoid having to say this - actually I was hoping to
avoid this whole drama -  but we _don't_ need releng's approval to do
this.  To delay progress, Chris will need to make a formal complaint
to the Council.

I don't think Chris wants that.  Everyone, please give him some credit.

Besides, I'm sure we'll delay our own progress whilst we figure out
how to make seeds work well ;-)  I think folks are getting carried
away here!  Let's get stuff working first, eh?

I wouldn't like to assume that Chris is speaking for releng here.  I
think it'd be fairer to assume that this is his personal opinion,
until something is explicitly said to the contrary.

Best regards,
Stu
