Yes, but other upstreams at least agree to not step on the toes of people who wish to use other software. Good example: shell maintainers have discussed together and decided, a year or two, that $PS1 should generally not be “export”ed, because of differences between shells, but rather be set in the various shells’ ~/.*rc files. Shell developers (Chet, David and me, and sometimes zsh people) occasionally proactively talk to each other, to possibly agree (or respect‐ fully disagree) about various features, or to discuss bugs, or something like that. bye, //mirabilos -- [16:04:33] bkix: "veni vidi violini" [16:04:45] bkix: "ich kam, sah und vergeigte"... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
