I think the RM bug should include both what is being requested (removal) and why. I think the two are closely related enough that they should share the title of "primary purpose". However, I know that you and the rest of the FTP team do a tremendous amount of work (thank you very much!), so I will concede that this is one item that should be the responsibility of the bug filer and doesn't need to be on your plate. > If this concerns people, they can ask for more information. True, but that happens after the fact, and sometimes time has a way of helping information to get lost. ...Marvin
