I think I am unable to post to debian-ctte due to not being subscribed, but perhaps you could forward this.

I would propose that as a good starting point for any grandfathering. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
