I agree, but there seems to be a prevailing sentiment that bugids should never appear in code. While we should of course never have things like "fix for 4842302" floating around in the source, I think that's quite a bit different from citing an issue that exists elsewhere, for exactly the reason you give above. But so far I've generally been unable to convince others of this distinction. -- meem _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
