- At the risk of sounding as if I'm complaining, I think the "phase
- errors" betweeen the ps, kernel, and gcc packages is getting to be
- enough hassle that the various maintainers should get together and agree
- on something and stick to it. Evertime a new version of one comes out,
- it seems to be a huge hassle getting it to work with the other two.

- I think the original posting identifies a real trouble spot, and I
- hope something can be done by the people involved to promote better
- interoperability.

- I admit that when I was in school I wrote COBOL. But I didn't compile.
