I like it. It lets projects stick with automake 1.10.3, or even a vendor-patched 1.9.6+, without falling prey to unpatched 1.10.2 or 1.11. coreutils, and any other package that already requires 1.11 features (like building configure scripts that accept --enable-silent-rules) only benefit by avoiding 1.11, but they can likewise do that by requiring 1.11.1. But packages that intend to support older automake releases definitely benefit, so I say move it to gnulib's maint.mk. + 'see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/542609 for details' \ That bug report only lists a handful of comments to the public; are we missing anything in the remaining comments that were screened for security? -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
