Amen. Generally, Debian needs a *lot* more #include <common-sense> in all these things. Debian is run by humans, and the rules that Debian runs on constantly change. Trying to fix these rules down to the last corner case that might happen once in a decade just doesn't make sense. Deal with these corner cases when they come - yes, there will be flamewars, but at least they'll have some reason and not be silly endless purely-theoretical debates like we're having now. -- vbi -- Das Geheimnis des Könnens liegt im Wollen. -- Guiseppe Mazzini
