some of it is - RFC's seem to have lost their original intent, which is
a request for _comment_. There's far too many that don't get comment
and (like the IRS's "regulations") get treated as a "law".
but my point is that it was described as a "draft" - the applicable
dictionary definition here seems to be
'preliminary sketch or outline'

doesn't matter (wasn't my point). Both sides plastered the other with words
without showing working examples, while both cited the same authority.
I left the code in for 2.8 to allow people to see Klaus' viewpoint (if they
read the INSTALLATION document). But if no one's adopted it, it's time to
move on.

right - so (to the original point). Shall we retain the feature, or not?
(Henry's response is still technically ambiguous - he stated lack of
support, but didn't specify which alternative ;-).
