Not yet. I'm now still on holiday, but when we reach consensus about a basic
version, lets start with 1.00

I noticed that from my own .log, from Schwerns message and from my own comment
in the code.
There's two ways of dealing with this filtering. Either Schwern's way: grep
for positive, or my way: filter the noise. The first one is straight and
simple, but /hide/s possible problem areas. The second is something that
should be actively maintained, but also /archives/ it within the mktest script.
Another advantage to the many changes maintainance version is that there will
be regular updates which might encourage new people to take part. OTOH, it
might scare of people that are already smoking
