Me too, and also I'd like to know about the actual use cases being designed for; the idea of a single fixed sequence marker across the system worries me from a performance and scaling aspect: it creates a bottleneck in the system that we should demand a large win for having. (Compare other bottleneck things like the code import machine table which have regularly experienced contention issues). -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
