To clarify, said anonymous committer was told a copy of the project, modulo their changes was welcome in a sandbox. The particular case they wanted was to mess with one source file not in a project tree, to prove a concept, and the committer didn't even expect the source code they planned to commit to necessarily work or become part of the project, simply to illustrate that something could be done. All of which most seems to fall into the scope of a labs. experiment. I don't think most committers are confused by the difference between sandboxes and labs. And heck, if you want to sandbox an experiment and encounter resistance by your project, you SHOULD proceed to prove your experiment at the labs and bring back the finished work to your peers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
