Subject: Re: Using section flags to indicate stripable or persistent sections

Hi Guys,
OK, I agree that using the section flags is a bad idea.
Using an extended section types is a nice idea, but I think that
it will probably not solve the underlying problem of inconsistent
section stripping - we would still need to persuade the tool
maintainers to agree on which section types are stripped with each
given strip option, and when new types are added the options would
have to be updated.
For now I think that the KISS principle applies. The strip tools
have methods for explicitly specifying which sections should be
removed, so whilst it might be a bit cumbersome if lots of sections
have to specified, it can be done.
Extension suggestion withdrawn.
Cheers
Nick
