While I really like the idea of this filter, I wonder why it was instantly checked in without a 'bugfix' or a 'hack' note. We are currently in a code-freeze, for which the release manager clearly stated: "Today is the start of the codefreeze, no more new features may be added to cvs and only bugfixes may be checked in." I have absolutely nothing against the code, but I wonder if it's wise to check in new (experimental) code during a code-freeze before a new release. Wouldn't it be better to postpone the check-in until after the release? Johannes
