Yes, it would make more sense and I don't know why this naming scheme |
| 14 |
was chosen in the first place. It's not really a big issue as I already |
| 15 |
submitted a patch for this issue on bug 28705. I think this is better |
| 16 |
than renaming the files (which is not possible in CVS) as I don't like |
| 17 |
to rely on the ordering of pythons os.listdir() function. |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
