I do not fully buy the "we have to do manual editing anyway..." argument, but we developers can live with the state things are.
My main motivation was the RM work. I never did it, but from what I see, it involves a lot of manual labor and that is a bit ridiculous in our line of work, IMO, YMMV, etc. But I'll rest my case for now, UNLESS/UNTIL a RM steps forward and rallies us for change. Then I am with her! ;-) Cheers, Stefan > Am 26.03.2018 um 18:29 schrieb Graham Leggett <[email protected]>: > > On 26 Mar 2018, at 6:13 PM, Jim Jagielski <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Is it really all that bothersome and problematic that we need to change >> things so much?
