Because I do believe this is documenting exactly what we do today and have been doing for years. I always scrutinize tooling more than when someone wrote it. Because using tooling myself, there's always that strange corner case that causes the tooling to do something you didn't expect. Whereas humans usually make the mistakes that you do expect ;-) > > If so and Dave likes it too then LGTM, pending any Linus/other veto. > > For the rest of your email - a lawyer would say 'asked and answered'.

I believe that you think I disagree more than what I actually do disagree with ;-) -- Steve
