32 Here I link to the ML from the config file ;). I'm fine linking
33 somewhere else (doc/catalyst-conf.1.txt?). Then config file comments
34 could move to the new man page (as spec file comments moved to their
35 own man page). With more space, we can wax eloquent on the potential
36 pkgcache issues ;).
