If not, why can't we just leave it at the working state? Removing it just for the sake of having it gone will gain us nothing, and will inconvenience those that rely on it. So, again, what's the point? As for who's going to keep it up-to-date, whoever finds that there are problems in what's in there. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
