If it takes code to do it, write the code, even if that's just shell scripts. Set up a prototype that's publically visible. Prove your point, don't just argue. > I think that it is just a matter of time until the matter gets raised by yet > another person as the underlying problem gets more acute. You haven't even proven that there _is_ an "underlying problem." As far as _I'm_ concerned, there _isn't_, and I keep a full repository just for the convenience of having it local. > I'll sit back and wait... Uh, huh. Cop out.
