I think it's irrational for another reason, too -- it's actually vacuous. There's nothing to prevent you creating a set of patches that simply say "Delete all of the original source and replace it with the following". Then you're effectively distributing the modified source in its entirety, just with a funny header at the top of each source file that serves no useful purpose. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
