The last time this came up I explained why I (as someone with no mutt-power whatsoever) think it's one of those ideas which sounds seductive but is actually a really *bad* idea. I also said that the only way to prove it either way is for someone to do it and see. If the resulting mutt - when it eventually surfaces, in a year or so - is substantially faster, easier to use, easier to hack, more powerful etc. then people will almost certainly switch over to it. Which leads us again to -ENOPATCH. (I should maybe be explicit that I don't mean it as bluntly as it sounds...) All of this is, of course, IMO. But I'm right. ;-) -- Paul
