I was simply pointing out that due to timing problems that are no one's fault, it's going to be hard to use these patches in a timely manner. We don't commit directly to stable without significant cause and in most cases fixing warnings in programs that work isn't. Certaintly I would encourage anyone doing warnings fixes in current to merge these patches as appropriate to both current and stable. For that matter, maybe Dan want's go really get his hands dirty and try current once DP2 comes out in July. It's shaping up pretty nicly IMO. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
