But note that we could change the =E2=80=98grep=E2=80=99 package anytime, just note = the =E2=80=98grep-final=E2=80=99 thing in commencement.scm. IOW, if we=E2=80=99re cautious, we should be able to add PCRE support to gr= ep and Git in =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99 without triggering a full rebuild. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
