The ARC looked at the information given to it and decided that retaining compatibility around the ImageMagick command names (that had been shipped before in SFW, and exist as such on many other platforms on which the ImageMagick tools are available) was more important than reserving a piece of the namespace for a command that was (and is) not even on track to being integrated. I see no rigidity nor lack of flexibility here. Bart _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
