While I like labels they need to be discussed more on-list as well as on |
| 26 |
bugzilla (it's not reasonable for you simply to advertise them and then |
| 27 |
close down discussion.) For instance, there is no reason everything has to |
| 28 |
be loaded into just one extant metadatum, not do they preclude new metadata |
| 29 |
(such as a SRC_DEP here.) |
