s/may/will/
s/should it do so/when it does/

It isn't a matter of something *may* break if you don't take action,
something *will* break.

Yes, there has been a lot of debate on the mls, but no news item has
ever been sent out on the subject, so I think sending out a news
item makes things more official in itself.

I have about an hour before I want to push this newsitem, so please
respond soon.

Does anyone else think I should make the change Duncan suggests, with
the substitutions I pointed out?

Thanks,

William
