No comments, my design proposal must have been perfect :-) We're working
on what this might mean to OpenChange and trying to decide if we should
put effort into a draft implementation for comment.

of bugs (presumably mostly crashbugs) to a central place. Talk about
emulating Microsoft functionality :-)
