That thinking is a category error. Warning positions are not "accurate to +- 0.2mm" or anything like that. They are either wholly correct or they are incorrect. > They are not accurate, they are _more_ accurate than earlier. See > Stefan's answer above. In the current master branch, the warning positions are not accurate, no (see above), they are correct. And if any are found to be incorrect, as has already happened, that is a bug to fix like any other, and one which is now capable of being fixed like any other, contrary to the previous situation. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
