That's one aspect, yes. But there is a class of users who want documentation for *any* change. I'm not sure how they will react to, say, a TLS library update that comes with the library update *and* most packages in the distribution which have been "rebuilt due to a change in dependencies". There's also an expectation that you only have to do detailed QA on changed components—which is, of course, an unsafe assumption, just like updating a DSO written in C without recompiling all reverse dependencies. _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
