Let's not conflate two completely different changes with two completely different work required to deal with them. Changing our default locations, and the documentation is quick. Changing the way the syncing/handling is done is a nightmare. If we conflate the issue, we can stop discussing as we're never ever going to go anywhere. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
