It's generally kept up-to-date, but mistakes do happen. However, from my reading of the current code, it's still an issue: we save away the results of running the system wgetrc, but always attempt to parse the user wgetrc even if we already know the system wgetrc failed. This should be a very, very simple thing to fix, and small enough that you shouldn't have to sign papers for it. Sounds like a great place to start! -- Micah J. Cowan http://micah.cowan.name/
