I'll need to consult with the core team (ie John, since he's explicitly reading this thread), but here's my opinion: Don't make exceptions for 'em. Let 'em be unreferenced. If the gate (and therefore the official unrefmaster.out) isn't built repeatedly in the same workspace, they'll never show up. If it is, then they'll appear as one-shot noise when they first appear in the unrefmaster.out file, and then again if/when the makefile bugs gets fixed. However, that's not a strong opinion. This still leaves projects and developers (anybody that does findunref builds in "used" workspaces) open to noise, which could potentially obfuscate their own problems. I'll soon setup a couple clean build workspaces, and do successive findunref builds in 'em, just to see for sure which of these only show up on the second run. I'll bet dollars to donuts that, once the .hg and .flg stuff that I mentioned before gets cleaned up, this accounts for all the differences. --Mark
