The non-developers get a set of freedoms that are arguable free. The developers get a slightly larger set of freedoms. That's not discrimination against the non-developers - it's discrimination in favour of the developers. Granting extra freedoms above and beyond something that is already free should never be a problem, even if those freedoms only apply to certain people. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
