Hi, Alex. I'm not upset--email has a bad habit of amplifying bad
feelings--but I do want to push back on this some more:
* First, I would really like to see changes of this nature
requested with the release cycle taken into account--that
is, requested during the spring if any kind of rapid
resolution is important. It's extra work for the release
engineer when someone comes up with a requirement like this
just after a release has been made.
* I don't understand your explanation referencing "a summary
of some license obligations," apparently irrespective of
particular pieces of software. I would think that how we
handle Adobe software is only restricted by our license with
Adobe, and I would be surprised to find that our license
with Adobe qrequires modifications to their own man pages.
