Let me add that this whole issue is getting clouded by side comments unnecessarily. No one is challenging the skill or capability of the MM developers, so there is no need to keep bringing up the pace/rate they work. Secondly, no one is saying "give us the keys to the kingdom", what I am saying is please keep us informed about what is coming down the pipe. I don't need specifics or details, just info I can use to plan/schedule. Simply put, don't surprise us with patches/fixes (critical or not). Nothing more, nothing less. -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
