I see maintainers from countries all over the world. I m sure that there are maintainers from followers of every significant religion and many others. I am unaware of any major public holidays that are celebrated in all of them. I don't know of any holiday celebrated in all nations and cultures. This look to be a rather useless clause in practice. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
