This is correct. The decision to have it work this way long predates my time. One thing I could do in the future is to find products that are more than about 1 year old yet have never made a release, and roll these back into an unapproved state. Eventually, if they are not re-submitted and given a release, they can be culled. I'm not eager to take such drastic steps without at least some discussion, though. :jon _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list Product-Developers@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
