Actually, not. In a debate, perhaps, when data is inconclusive, it is expected to provide thoughts to sway the voters. However, in a technical arena, where decisions are based on the facts provided by the merits of the point at hand, subjectiveness is a detriment. Folks just want the facts. Jeremy (and all those that support the idea) is proposing something and asking the community for support in the decision. I've asked for technical merit that supports why we should change. I have no reason to argue, I just want some facts to base further decision on. Instead, I get subjective guesses. This doesn't cut it, Bruce. If one has to guess that the suggestion he provides is supposed to be superior, it doesn't lead to much credibility. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:48:00 up 115 days, 8:12, 3 users, load average: 0.04, 0.16, 0.27 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
