Learned from the mistakes of the past and all that. One was a huge project that ended up with lesser lines of software that was much more easy to read. Another was ported to a slightly higher level language. Most just had subtle improvements that made the whole more elegant. If you're not smarter at the time you plan to do a rewrite, don't. -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
