Personally, I would support any policy as to avoid different people putting different meanings into the orders, especially if there are groups of people who believe that everyone should do it their way (maybe everyone should). I also think things like information pertaining to developer platforms shouldn't be put into variable ordering. When I write software I don't expect people to understand intricacies of my design decisions and requirements from the order I call functions or the order I give to my parameter assignments, despite some rule of thumb I or others believe is the right way. Not everyone thinks like me, and that's what comments and external documentation are for. -- Joshua Baergen -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
