Prescript: CCs to me are no longer necessary. I'm subscribed to -volatile now. Thanks, Peter, for doing so. Quoting Peter Pentchev on 2010-01-18 03:53:56: > IMHO, the backports archive would be a better choice for this. from what you explain later on in your reply, I'm more heavily leaning toward backports vs volatile. > And yes, it was mentioned in the -user thread, including by yourself, > if I'm not mistaken :) You're not mistaken.

This definitely is something I see use in volatile for. On second reading of d.o/volatile, I notice that AV is in fact mentioned specifically. > Okay, so it may be a question of wording; I wonder if mentioning > "useful" or some similar description somewhere in that paragraph would > be... useful :) I can't think of a proper way to state it better so as to avoid questions like mine in the future, though if I do come up with a way to reword things, what would be the best way to submit my corrections? I don't see a place to grab the document source, if any,[1] so probably a diff (context or unified?) against the HTML posted to the list?
