And that is great, no one is saying we will reject patches to make it compile with mingw, we are just saying that the policy "strong word" 'shall' in the policy is for the 3 "platform compilers". Would it make you happier if we included D) Reasonable patches introducing or fixing support for other compilers shall not be reasonable rejected or something to that effect? I think that is a given, but maybe it's better to spell it out? Cheers, Albert > > /Sune
