OK; just to clarify my understanding, and perhaps for anyone else
watching who saw things as muddled as I did:

It would be useful to know how many people think herds are not

Hi All,
Consider this both a rant and a GLEP pre-proposal. When we created the
idea of herds back in the day, there was a clear distinction between a
