That's a piece for second (or first) version number change. And it'll take PLENTY of time until next 4.3 or 5.0 (whatever is right) comes. It's not a big piece of work but the number of layouts are increasing and people _got accustomed_ to the names, so the earlier it's cleaned up the less painful it's gonna be. Also that would be good to state somewhere in release notes that people should use "variants" inside layouts now concerning it impacts end users .... Well that's my opinion. :) Andriy > >On Fri, Jan 11, 2002 at 12:05:17PM -0800, Andriy Rysin wrote: >>/Hi! >/>/ >/>/Why don't we keep all those different layouts like ca and ca_enchanced, >/>/lt, lt_a, lt_std and lt_p .... pl and pl2 keep in one file (ca, lt and >/>/pl respectively) and use variants inside the layout file?
