I'm not.  :-)  I've gotten a number of complaints about it, from 
various people.    Why, if it was just one person, I wouldn't hesitate 
to ignore you callously!

And I largely don't care when people say, "move this to p6l".  We just 
don't seem to have the boundary condition set where people are most 
satisfied.

I think it largely stems from people thinking the docs group has a 
shred of actual power.  I wish.  ;-)
