I think it has more to do with my experience in working with a large source base that has a lot of maintainers. While you might see <random SCM> support as harmless and nice, I view it as unnecessary clutter that's likely to provide little or no real benefit to anyone. Clutter makes maintenance work harder. In this case it's relatively benign clutter, so I wouldn't advocate taking it out if it were already there. But I (still) don't think it's worth adding, either. Roland> ...

It's certainly worth thinking about what other things could be fixed or improved while you're in an area. But that doesn't mean it's worth doing all the things you think of. Also, in case it's not clear, this is all my personal opinion. mike _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
