You do realize that this discussion you've started *is* bikeshedding, right? We have picked a number and stuck to it, many many years ago. That doesn't stop bikeshedding. The only thing that stops bikeshedding is to stop participating in the discussion. You got the answer to your question, and you yourself admit that there is no problem to solve. So please let's stop here. Stefan
