Now that's what I call solidarity. ;-)
I don't really care either way (I use a version of inn with a 20,000 line
diff to the release version), but it would be nice if everything was
consistant.
The question becomes, "what about cnews?" I only (personally) know of
one cnews site amongst our customers. Everybody that we deal with (bar
that company) uses either some PC based system or inn.
