Guess I should have said absence rather than elimination. > Uncommented edits are not unusual; people forget to do it. > What's good for the goose is good for the gander. My uninformed opinion is that the edit is unwarranted and confusing. In fact I'd say the edit weaseled the caveat more or less out of existence. Apparently the "some"* that "believe it would be better" don't know about the complexity of the variables involved, nor that what is burnt on device A isn't necessarily readable on device B (but remains readable on device A?), the implication being they're attributing to the software what can be ascribed to other, unrelated factors. * Thomas Schmitt, developer of xorisso (who probably knows his * shit), of which Keeling was well aware, of course, when he made the * edit. -- "Now she understood that Anna could not have been in lilac, and that her charm was just that she always stood out against her attire, that her dress could never be noticeable on her."
