Hi, Giancarlo. Well, no one wants to maintain a patch forever. I'd maintain it for a while if there was a good chance it would get accepted at some point, but if there's no chance, then I wouldn't bother. I'm a little puzzled over the whole resistance to the patch. If I wrote a man page for some software I wrote, and if an example in it was considered off-color by someone, and that someone submitted a patch to me to change it slightly to no longer be off-color to them, and they asked in a kind way, and the patch didn't hurt the clarity of the man page in any way, I would likely accept the patch. How am I hurt by it? I may not agree with the person, but why would I insist on keeping an example that seems off-color to them? If it's somehow offensive to them and can be changed in a small way not to be, then I would accept the patch to change it. Everybody wins--no big deal. Lewis
