If, as you suggest, ARC is too immature to go in, then I presume that would also imply that "global consensus" should also be that: a) PITR is much too immature to put in; b) Win32 is way too immature to put in; c) NT is way too immature, as well; d) Tablespaces are way too immature to be included. Which eliminates all of the big, interesting reasons to upgrade to 7.5. Or is ARC the only thing you regard as a misfeature? Interesting that it was put into 7.5 _early_ in the process, so that everyone that has lately touched the betas would be getting bitten pretty heavily if it was laden with bugs... -- output = reverse("gro.mca" "@" "enworbbc") http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/emacs.html "There is something in the lecture course which may not have been visible so far, which is reality ..." -- Arthur Norman ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
