That's what I understood as well. I realize that you currently are the only one who could revert any change that could break anything but this will hopefully change soon. In general if a change breaks anything, it can get reverted. In my experience if you ask for objections you won't hear any until after you've committed the change anyway 8-) In this particular case you are adding a piece of ported contrib code that hasn't been there before at all so the danger shouldn't be too big IIUC. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that you should not fear breaking each other local copies too much since it can get fixed after the fact. Glitches happen, whether you asked for objections/permission or not. Of course there are big changes that need to be discussed, but that's a different story. Stefan
