I think it is more prevalent in single person projects than what we have the honesty to admit - After all, if *I* am writing the code, then *I* can do what *I* want, and often *I* do, much to *my* chagrin, when the effects strike home. Do I talk about it? - No way! I just quietly fix it. Sometimes too much freedom is not such a good thing - it leads to all sort of effects of which API spec. creep is one of the least. - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
