I geoff> know, I'm a cynic. :-) I find that less important. If they can't be bothered to at least read NEWS (and I think it's appropriate to mention a new flag in there), there's not much we can do for them, except point at it when they come to us and complain. More than that, I won't feel guilty in any kind of way, knowing we have done our best to provide options. After that, it's up to them to use the options wisely. ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software. See http://www.free.lp.se/sponsoring.html for details.
