[ Bo, I think this last sentence could have been written in a more diplomatic way. After all if we think that now we have also Wednesday == Friday in no time every week day will become Friday. :-) ] Regarding the subject of this thread and for what is worth I should say that we have the same attitude towards linux distributions. Sometimes they add new features and patches in a similar way, some appropriate and some not. Our policy is to encourage everyone to discuss these issues at a project level, and where appropriate to add hooks that allow specific customisation. Note also that this policy applies for linux, mac, windows and the different unices that we support in equal terms. In the long run it means less work to maintain and a better user experience. I agree with others that you been doing an amazing job and we would like to work the different issues in a constructive way. Now could we please proceed to fix the remaining 1.5 bugs? ;-) > Cheers, > Bo -- José Abílio
