I struggle to see what the patch will do other than change a percentage value to be more attractive. I assume as some point the backwards compatibiltiy will be dropped, in which case the "unused" server code can be removed, and the doctest figures will improve. I'm guessing nobody is going to write any doctests for code which is only there to maintain backward compatibility. So if it remains untested, why should it be removed from the test figures? Perhaps I'm missing something. Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group. To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com.
