Frank, All,
On 2016-06-20 16:33 -0400, Frank Hunleth spake thusly:
> The phrase "Supports several hundreds of packages" is unusual to hear in
> English (or at least American English). The more common alternatives are
> "Supports several hundred packages" or "Supports hundreds of packages".
> The latter sounds like a larger amount, so change the phrase to that.
Oh! We have another english pedant! Great, that will be even more fun! :-)
(note: consider me as the first on that list! ;-) )

Although I would have preferred "several hundred packages" which sounds
a little bit more sophisticated! ;-]
/me hides, now...
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
