No, not in a million years. Comments have reason. There are good reasons to recommend against them, and perhaps GnuPG should be updated so that the system does not ask for a comment by default, but when they exist, they may sometimes provide valuable information. e.g., Wouter Verhelst (XMPP only) <wverhe...@gmail.com> If you send email to that address, it is highly unlikely that I'll see it (I open that mailbox once a year or so). The list should be fixed so it contains the comments, rather than "edited" for badly-placed advocacy against comments. -- Could you people please use IRC like normal people?!? -- Amaya Rodrigo Sastre, trying to quiet down the buzz in the DebConf 2008 Hacklab _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
