I notice that docs/project/release_manager_guide.pod says (line 123): It is not necessary to quiet all the codingstd tests for a release.
Since these tests are on "make test" (and hence visible to non-developers), and are being tested with Smolder in any case, I think this sentence is bad advice and should be removed. WDOT? -- Bob Rogers http://rgrjr.dyndns.org/
