I didn't realize that the release manager could decide to ignore the Social Contract if it is inconvenient. A more appropriate way to fix it would be to simply eliminate the documentation. People could then file bugs complaining about the lack of documentation even in non-free, and these bugs may or may not hold up the release. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
