What I saw was that a discussion with a practical point (treatment of the Maintainer field) was sidetracked because you started to focus on the Version field instead, and I asked you to justify your concern. Furthermore, regardless of whether you think it is easy, a global change of the Version field is not something that I can even consider making in the middle of our short release cycle, so it really isn't much of a priority at this time. The Maintainer field is something that I may be able to do something about, and I'm awaiting the results of Jeroen's poll on that. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
