AFAIK, the only case in which it's permitted to reference a CR is when you're working around an existing defect that you will not resolve with your work. This makes it easier for the person who ultimately fixes that defect to hunt down accompanying cleanup work, or (if the RE overlooks one) later allows others to know whether the workaround is still necessary. meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
