Please don't try to make it sound like there's only a single person who |
| 14 |
doesn't want this as default. I also feel it's much more acceptable to |
| 15 |
leave it as it is, but I don't see much point in participating actively |
| 16 |
in this thread (it's devolved enough as it is). Perhaps a GLEP would be |
| 17 |
a good idea? |
