Irregardless of the archiving thread, I am having a difficult time seeing the need for per build instructions.I see nothing in the per revision instructions that is not covered in the generic instructions or would be better placed in the OS specific instructions. Please understand that I look at this purely from a documentation standpoint as I do not build. From my reading the Build Guides instructions appear generic enough and link to more specific instruction for for different operating systems. Please help me understand what I may be missing. Unless you are looking at adding a new operating system at this point I do not see the need to add per build for instructions that will just add more pieces that will add to the debate over what to do with what some will call outdated material and want to have it archived. I look forward to discussing this with you further. Regards Keith
