I have *never* grepped for FIXME. Unless I want to make myself sad. There's just too many of them. I'd *like* to have FIXME for truly bad stuff -- like "must be resolved before the next stable release -- and TODO for other issues, but there's just too many to evaluate. I'd guess that it would take documentation writers on par with me, Carl, or Trevor about 20 hours to resolve the FIXMEs. And currently we have 0 people working on the docs, so progress is even slower. > When the structure > gets stable and reliable, hopefully we'll be able to get rid of this > FIXME. More to the point, the directory structure would most likely change by modifying stepmake/stepmake/foo.make or Documentation/GNUmakefile; a comment in a subdirectory won't be noticed at all. That said, we have enough outdated or useless FIXMEs already, so another one won't matter.
