<font face="DejaVu Sans Mono">Brian: Define safely.<br>
<br>
I'm in a volunteer grid. Bulletproof code is important for
reliability.<br>
This does <u>not</u> reflect your coding ability.<br>
<br>
It's a characteristic of large systems. I've written large
systems and had unintended consequences from "small, harmless,
guaranteed-to-work" changes. But, we didn't have a testing
environment as complete as Tahoe-LAFS has. If new code passes the
testing suite, it's most probably clean.<br>
<br>
Change of mind: I like to be on the cutting edge. I'll put the
new code into place when it's someone says its safe to do so.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all your work,<br>
<br>
Ted<br>
