What I meant is that any body should be able to submit a change that removes or modifies code without calling for a vote or doing anything other than what is required right now. That means I could submit a change tomorrow to remove certain bits of code from ON, etc. and as long as ARC, and whoever else is supposed to be involved is involved, then it should be fine. This means that Sun engineers should not have to do any more than a community member does to remove code. With that said, even as a community-driven project, Sun has certain legal responsibilities that may call upon it in certain cases to remove code without "community approval" due to other requirements. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall
