Well, I couldn't find anything in my IRC logs, all I could find is that I switched away from using the key="value" stuff at r10 in my svn repo, on 5 July (it's now at r213). No one else I talked to remembered why the switch was done in the first place, so I'm just going to change the format back to key="value", like bash variables. Unlike most other variables in profiles, though, I am keeping these with all lowercase variable names, e.g. uid="5". I'll update the documentation in my dev space tomorrow. -- Mike Kelly
