Which is exactly why I like the idea of ATs, and exactly why I'm against giving them in effect 'full dev minus cvs write' powers. That can wait until they reach full dev status. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
