However, I don't encourage the release of a new revision every month or something like that. So, I think that people must have a good reason to extend a target/match, and in case that this new revision is considered worthy. I would hold it for quite some time in the SVN repository and after that push it forward. If we follow a policy similar to this, the manpages shouldn't get bloated so much I guess. -- Pablo
