Yeah, I think that is sensible, especially given that the ancient --noxmailer platform reportedly cannot even fully build with v2.2. I thought at first that we also had a regression in pruning with alternates, but it looks like that bug actually went into v2.2. I still think we would want the fix fairly promptly, but it does not need to happen before v2.3 is released. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
