Hello automakers. I see that the Automake's "TODO" file is badly out-of-date: the dates of the two last real changes (both very small) are 28/03/2007 and 12/04/2004. Also, it's hard to easily discriminate which parts of the file might still be relevant, as the entries lack any sort of reference to author, date of writing, or automake version involved (yes, I could proably dig those details out by searching the git history and the mailing lists' archives, but that's awkward at best).
I think having an up-to-date TODO would be worthwhile and useful. So, anyone has an idea of how much out-of-date or even misleading the current content of TODO is? Should it be scrapped (apart from bits that are clearly and obviously still relevant), and a new TODO started from scratch? Or could it be saved somehow? Either way, IMHO, there's a lesson for the future to be learned here: always add the date (and maybe the version string offered by `git describe') to any new TODO entry. Regards, Stefano
