Right now, it's also badly out of date in several respects and not in a position to lead any charge. Manoj and I have both been eaten by our respective day jobs, there are a ton of obvious fixes that should go into the next release, and the work is, er, not being spread at all beyond the two of us. All of which are serious problems that need to be remedied, but until they are, my enthusiasm for leading any major charge through policy is pretty low, even apart from the fact that practically speaking it won't happen because there hasn't been a Policy upload in nearly a year. I have just enough time to feel guilty and not enough time at the moment to do anything concrete about it, which is a wonderful situation. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
