I like it. As I understand it, you mean this as a toolbox from which people can use what fits the situation, not as a straight jacket. Canonical has a history of over-filling the front of the pipe with specs much faster than we could implement them. This touches that scar. If people use common sense and stay aware of whether there is yet-unfinished work before starting something new it should be good. -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
