No particular time frame, but a little clean-up task for anybody who has a touch of OCD or likes playing with regular expression search and replace, would be to remove the clause"Use scratch_pool for temporary allocations" from all our doc strings. Documentation should be helpful and concise; repeating universal truths is neither. Our 'scratch_pool' convention is universal. Not all code uses the convention, but it always means the same thing when it is used.
(The 'result_pool' convention, on the other hand, is a bit more involved. Results are not always allocated in result_pool, and there are often conditions attached such as "except some of the values in the result structure are shallow-copied from the inputs". So the public APIs at least should probably always be explicit about use of the result pool.) - Julian -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
