I think I started it. Sorry for that. There actually was no disrespect towards any person intended: I used it to describe the minimum requirements the current policies were relying on from a release manager, and apart from being a loaded term, it is actually inaccurate since monkeys are not particularly known for following instructions. "Robot" would have been a quite better fit (though Asimov would likely be in violent disagreement). In any case I agree that pittoresque analogies do not actually help the discussion. >> We are currently discussing how to change >> it, so I see little benefit in arguing over precisely how bad the >> current policy is. > > Hear, hear! +10 Agreed. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
