: Adding a config parameter sounds good too but the new patch is no worse : than what exists in terms of javadoc warnings and has been shown to : actually fix what I would imagine is a rather standard configuration : (local disk xp/rh)
the patch you submitted may be "no worse" from an abstract cost/benefit standpoint just because it may be worse in a differetbut equally bad way. I look at it fromthe perspective that while the currentsolution may be broke for some people - it's always been like that so it's always been broke for those people, meanwhile it's obviously worked for some people. if we change it in a way that doesn't have any clearly obvious "win" for the majority of people, we may just wind up hurting our existing users, for the theoretical benefit of new users we don't currently have. New config options would let hte user be in control, but if we're going to hardcode one or the other, i'd rather hardocde the one we've always had so we don't pull the rug out from under our existing users. -Hoss
