RTC is not something to 'get around;' it's a fundamental way of progressing. If something fails to garner three +1 votes, it means that there aren't three people who care enough about it for it to go into the code. It's up to the person/people behind the item to drum up support for it. It doesn't go in until three people have verified that it works acceptably. If that means things languish for weeks or months, then that's what it means. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRJQQBJrNPMCpn3XdAQJCkgQAkoEFFBOGSCMeIMyhBYfc/w1jGKg0a+ri 2/ZlF9aU/X28K59vJUzrhU0JrMPegSKFoT2oyDmffqtUIqle8ap4hX+dTH4a8Tye Qke4Bi+IngKgkBmjHdqDZ1W1bt1M5nmvBCNEN+aF7ZeQ9Ey9/4vc4Pw6eFv5w/VQ FwH/0wNiwU4= =7jv1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
