I was clear, pointing out that you were going to do almost the same
thing that i did with scottwatcher. Btw, if they merge scottwatcher
features adding that in their infrastructure it will be possible to do
the "single patch" thing, and the unique reason why turn scottwatcher
obsolete makes sense from what you said. Why not inform me to stop
scottwatcher anyway, if you think there's something better coming from
their camp?
