Fixing typos in comments doesn't improve the quality of the resulting binaries and given the high a process burden while we are still using the sponsor system to me it just isn't a good use of a sponsors time. I would personally rather see that we don't see requests that are just fixes in comments. I do want those fixes in the code base but in my opinion they are better done as part of another set of changes in a similar area of the code base or subsystem. Fixes to spelling and grammar that appear in user interfaces are a different issue but as John said they are still often very low priority things. Don't take this that I don't value the work that people are offering I do but until we have OpenRTI and direct putback these I don't see that it is a good use of everyone's time. -- Darren J Moffat
