AFAIK, there has been discussion on some list. Of course, those interested in changing this feature participated more actively, so maybe one can get the impression that a majority of users don't like this default behaviour. Personally, I don't comment on this. But maybe we should try to treat changes to the default behaviour more thoroughly before we go ahead and implement it in future. -- GPG messages preferred. | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Alexander Sack | : :' : The universal [EMAIL PROTECTED] | `. `' Operating System http://www.asoftsite.org | `- http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
