Please Glenn, stop this nonsense! Fixing those cosmetic issues is a waste of time. We should focus on fixing actual bugs. Could someone please help Eric collect a list of the various bug-fixes that should be back-ported to older revisions? If you could find to which revision it should apply it's better, but if not, I'm confident Eric will find a neat heuristic to add to his reposurgeon to automatically find the right revision. Stefan
