Seconded? Well, the proposing comes in the form of patches. :) Richard or Casey has said they are breaking their patch into three pieces, and I am expecting one of them to be this file descriptor issue. And, I expect a debate to ensue along the lines of "audit already?" and "so simple, why not now?" [mac/dac ordering] > I have no opinion here, but I think it's boiled down to "why?"

I have an idea it will take a bit more time than one day to take a look at this one; perhaps the worst part is that I don't think it is integral to anyone's final product -- just convenient for proponents of either point of view. As such, the debate on this one may go on a bit longer. [error codes in post hooks] > Sheesh, I have a sort of a life! :) No Opinion.

Well, thats the thing with this one -- no one has voiced any opionions on it yet, aside from the implicit opinion of SGI that it is worth having, since they put the time into making it so. :) I expect the arguments to sound a lot like the arguments on the first one, only without the "this is not useful" angle. > To date, it's been discussed, but every reader of this list COULD have a > different idea what the consensus is/was. True enough; other open source projects don't usually have too much trouble with the particulars though. Like you said, the sort-of lives we may or may not have tend to interfere.
