Review comment: I suspect that DFI numbers were allocated in large blocks. I wouldn't put much stock in their numbering other then as a reflection of the order the blocks were allocated in. As far as I am aware, there is no commitment to not add new DUIs to existing DFIs either. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
