This kind of idea appears to have come up a couple times, in various ways. I don't quite understand it though (and I personally wouldn't support it). But I am curious as to why this has come up a few times during this whole discussion... (Yes, I know you weren't asking me, and that you were just trying to get clarification on other peoples' comments, and yes I know that isn't an change we're really proposing--I just saw it mentioned a couple times and was really curious why it was coming up at all) Cheers, Elijah _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
