I think we have entered the "well it depends on your personal
preferences" zone here. I see your point, and still I think my 
way is better - simply because I give more weight to my own
arguments for no particular reason other than my own
sense of aestethics.

I have no problem debating the merits of our different approaches,

To hold up the release for as long as possible while we debate
things that are really unimportant compared to getting a release
out the door. I don't think you're the only one who has had a lot
of one-minute logfiles.

So, how about we re-visit this later, if needed?
