Given how little dev I do, I'm not entitled to an opinion, but given the number of messages I see to the mailing lists that end up as being checkout synch problems, I see this as a recipe for trouble, particularly for regression testing. Because this is just an infrastructure/procedure change to the dev process, it should be easy enough to revert if it proves problematic, so I remove my -0. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "If you don't know what your program is supposed to do, you'd better not start writing it." --Dijkstra _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
