I think it makes sense to allow actual (or even require) that the actual source file be in the tree, but I wonder the proposed policy isn't too strict. Specificaly, it seems that the screenshot tools aren't very big and don't require X so it might be better to for people to have them and adding them to the infrastructure. Where to draw the line is clearly hard, but it feels like screen shots should be first class images in OS documentation. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
