I don't think it's Policy's place to tell people that they can't use hashes because they *might* result in long version numbers. They usually don't. If we have a version number length restriction, or an overall filename length restriction, we should just say that, and point out that using hashes may make it hard to meet the restriction. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
