Come on guys; a standard / spec is a norm, convention of requirement. You don't want to reflect reality because if reality were broken you would be defining broken behavior in the standard; so, yes, you would kind of "define reality" depending on how you define defining reality. Let's just agree that we need to discuss whether we want it in the PMS and how, not necessarily in this thread as it could be perceived as off-topic by most here; I don't see why we need to fight over a word's meaning, especially when that word is not relevant to this discussion. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : [email protected] GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
