| Well, jhawk, perhaps you don't recall the history, but
| exmh used to be in the tcl locker, and was moved to the
| SIPB locker because people thought it would make a valuable
| sipb program.
Err, history has little relevent to this particular predicament.
| Now, I don't know what you view as a solution, but putting
| another full install of Tcl/Tk in SIPB seems silly.
Nor did I advocate it.
| I suppose you could argue that the tcl locker needs maintenance (it
| certainly does)
Indeed.
| but I think that depending on the tcl locker in this situation makes
| sense..
It may make sense, but that doesn't make it not a bug.
| do you also believe that no perl scripts should rely on the perl
| locker and that we should therefore install perl in the SIPB
| locker (or move all perl scripts out of the SIPB locker?)
The perl locker is supported, to the best of my knowledge.
