It isn't that much effort, isn't it? Plus we need to take into account the future mistakes that it might prevent, too. So even if there were zero problems found so far, it is still a positive change. I would agree if these changes were high risk, though; but they are almost trivial. Cheers, Miguel -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
