I don't think either is really a solution. IMHO there should be a distinction between "official tags" (that get passed around together with everything else) and "private tags" for everybodys own home use (that could be passed around, but only explicitly). Plus the possibility to erase, move, &c private tags, and perhaps upgrade them to official status (thus setting them in stone). -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
