        And one of my fears about the impending 'Feature freeze' is that  
we will enter an even more fascist "minimal changes" mode that only allows
us to add semicolons to the code - thus leaving us with large swathes of  
easily cleanable but unmaintainable code - that then we are forced to
maintain in an even _more_ fasicst 'only add whitespace' mode for
effectively ever.
  
        This would seem like a false economy to me - but ... perhaps
someone will re-assure me that code changes won't be subject to individual
review on a ';' basis after November the whatever.
  
        And here is the straw man for you to hit "Michael never wants to  
freeze" - but no, I do - and there is a time and place for a minimal
changes regimen, but it's not nearly that soon for something like the
panel.
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
