I don't think policy changes need to be seconded. We have a policy team that should decide on what comes in policy and what not. Although, it more looks like it's just 1 person doing all the work. I sometimes feel that they go to slow which changing things, and I'm not really sure it's a good or bad thing. Some of those currently open bugs against the policy package, like your ~ in version numbers, really shouldn't be a problem to get into the policy. I don't think anybody has a problem with it. I think it's just that no new version of the policy has been made yet. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
