When the information is not the same, the current semantics seems to be more useful. So I guess, no change is the way to go here. - -- =E2=9E=A7 Ulrich Drepper =E2=9E=A7 Red Hat, Inc. =E2=9E=A7 444 Castro S= t =E2=9E=A7 Mountain View, CA =E2=9D=96 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHQ25/2ijCOnn/RHQRAmhhAJsHRF7FqO8DWwZ97gHxIO/i4Z1AAQCffCGa Q2J8kjthKbbNQf1USWMAw3Y=3D =3Dxl/a -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
