I do think we should have some sort of plan in which we work out how that will be done. If we want to do it, that is. However if we go this way then there's a risk that we'll end up with two different ways of configuring the feature and we'll need to maintain the old way for ever. That's a bad thing and we'd be better off implementing the fancier scheme on day one. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
