I was worried about clarity, but the response here makes me think I overworried, I will look at tweaking in that direction. I think in-kind cost trading is a no-brainer, but hard to do (how well can we predict future support costs :(). Allowing other kinds of trades is conceptually important though - otherwise making landings cheaper by writing code wouldn't be able to be done! -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
