I agree with the spirit of the proposal, but I won't second it as is. Going directly from a "may" to a "must" is too quick in my opinion. Please make that a "should" first. It'll still allow you to file bugs (although not serious ones), and it'll have a better chance of being accepted. I'll second it, for a start :-) Roland. -- Roland Mas Neko-no me-to, onna-gokoro-to, aki-no-sora. -- Proverbe japonais (« Souvent femme varie, bien fol est qui s'y fie. »)
