We could. I still wouldn't consider that a productive use of time. It's a rare API that can't be misused, I'd much prefer if we approached code quality by _actually reading the code_ rather than deciding with grep what we will and won't accept. I know that's a radical idea, that as packagers we ought actually to know the language of the code being packaged, but I think it has merit. - ajax -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
