I have déjà vu: I did exactly the same thing in lp:ubuntu-cdimage in 2012. :-) I agree that this style makes things pretty nice for calling code. The one problem I've had with it is that every so often somebody looks at a bit of code and says "hey, isn't this going to break after 17.04?" and then I have to explain that it's actually magically OK, which as problems go is not really a bad one to have. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
