Programmers (and lawyers!) are pedants by nature. :P If the letter is routinely disregarded because it is overly strict, then the letter should be changed or it becomes difficult to tell which letters are to be taken seriously. Hence my suggestion that the decision of whether to link nightly builds ought to be left up to individual projects (de jure as well as de facto). -Jonathan (My bad, I didn't CC the listt at first on my last reply to Matthieu, I didn't mean to take it private)
