That's not a big deal. Make the announcement, have the discussion, and then the change can go in -- perhaps with the addition of a user option to enable the change. Since adding the user option variable is meant to be a general solution, we may as well say that there's no need for the announcement or the discussion if there is aleady a user option variable to enable the change, and it is disabled by default. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
