I think I must be one of the only people to use the 'minor' field on a regular basis. And most of the 'critical' ones are not critical in that sense. But there hasn't been much discussion at all of what counts as a critical or major thing - it's mostly in the eye of the beholder. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
