Who is ever going to need SI? It's more of a not limiting support, but in the spirit of YAGNI, I can forget about SI until we find some reason to actually want it, and then add it at that point. As for the /.iB/ prefixes, other than the actual magnitude prefix, 'iB', 'B', 'bps', etc. would be supplied as a suffix by the consumer so as not to assume that we will be formatting bytes or widgets, since conceivably you may want to know that there are 203k objects (which would be an SI use) or are transferring at a rate of 1.6k blobs/s. In which case, it might be preferable to leave the SI in, since it would allow more than just bytes to be formatted in shorter, human-readable form. -- Marcus Griep GPG Key ID: 0x5E968152 —— http://www.boohaunt.net את.ψο´ -- 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
