Directions for debugging several of the more common issues that result from letting X pick the DPI are now documented and is something worth exploring as a team. Can I add some requests/suggestions for an item for the sprint? * Best practices for patch management. E.g., how to use quilt, dpatch, etc. * HAL 101.
