It's conservative language. It means noone is going to point at something that's been overlooked and rubbish our documents for making false claims. That's very natural to me.

Whether it really makes sense to have both slotmem and socache modules is another question ... -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent. http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
