Actually, I think there would be a huge gain. The gain would be that suddenly all those who oppose glep-55 because they're afraid the filename suffix will change too often will suddenly have nothing to worry about. For those who think glep-55 is the right thing to do, it really *is* glep-55, but with a small caveat that we shouldn't just change the filename extension for every single little feature enhancement. -- Jim Ramsay Gentoo/Linux Developer (rox,gkrellm,fluxbox,vim)
