I supremely butchered the sending of this, and then tried to save it by resubmitting directly to vger with the same message ID but truncated CC, which mostly worked, but the whole thing is a mess. I'll trim this to subsystem maintainers and resubmit a v2 right away, rather than having people wade through the mess. To any one who's reading this: no more replies to v1! It clogs the tubes. > If any of the subsystems ask you to break this up (I hope not), I've got Oh god I surely hope not. Sounds like a massive waste of time and paperwork. Jason
