Well yeah, and that's basically the intention of the emails; an attempt to communicate with the devs. I do feel it is slightly OT for tech@ > > Instead, what is your mail -- is it a rah rah please enable it > tomorrow?

Well, I did say "what's necessary for it to move forward?". I was being quite sincere about my question. If the reply is "we think it's ok, but just need more real-world testing", then I know I can use it. Maybe the reply would have been "it breaks ocasionally and corrupts your stuff". > > The email you sent above is not a form of participation.

Anyway, I'll enable it on one of my laptops, and send any feedback I can come across. Cheers, -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
