Can we please try to hold most of these discussions primarily in -legal? Once we have actually figured out what the primary issue is, and understood the ramifications of it, only then should we present a cogent, clear analysis of what the actual issue is to upstream, so that they can actually deal with it appropriately. Otherwise, all we're doing is burying upstream (and frankly, -devel) under a deluge of material that they could care less about, and hurting our chances of eventually resolving the issue (whatever it is) appropriately. [Finally, as a major nitpick: Please, please, please, Set a useful Topic:. Otherwise it becomes quite impossible to return to these threads at any point in the future. Topicless threads are almost as bad as threads with a wrong topic.] Don Armstrong -- "For those who understand, no explanation is necessary.
