I guess I'm confused by the criticism as I thought that's what I did.

I don't see how the change I made could adversely impact the users of other systems. j. - 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
