Just as soon as Michael Hoek responds to just ONE of the emails
I might consider letting it die.  But has anyone noticed he seems
to be silient on this list.  Is he reading his commit mail?  Would
he care to answer my very direct and simply 3 original questions?

I've given him 48 hours since my comment, I now see 2 other folks
also objecting to mkdir -v (It just took time for them to catch
up, many don't read email over the weekend).  I have sighted it does
not make us compatible with fileutils 4.0, which was one claim by
someone else.

The commit to rm broke the build of -current for 24 hours :-(

I have no problem with the -v to cp, good technical arguments where
made for it, _and_ it makes us compatible to fileutils 4.0.  Similiar
reasoning applies to rm, but not mkdir.

In 12 more hours I intend to revert the code on mkdir unless he steps
forward and at least makes a comment.

If he does not make a comment I have to assume he is not reading
commit mail and intend to ask that his commit access be suspended,
as that has never been allowed.  (Is this in the rules yet??)
