Right. [I submit that in such a case, the lenny tag should be removed if it actually affects unstable; possibly it shouldn't have been applied in the first case.] > We should probably look at all the possibilities and think about > good defaults for them? We should think about them, but whatever decision we make needs to apply to all of the possible distribution tags in a similar manner. [That is, I really don't want to special case every single tag, because that's not maintainable.] Don Armstrong -- If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that, too. -- W.
