Nonetheless, I agree w/ vapier.  GLEP 39 supercedes GLEP 4, and clearly
the changes were extreme there.  For the previous and current changes to
GLEP 39 the changes are much smaller, and I'd rather see the changes
done inline.  *Shrug*  It's a slippery slope, but I'd rather rely on
common sense until there's actual evidence that it's failing.
