I was just letting people know that the number of complaints do not always measure the level people are complaining about. The complaint I did about seeing the 140 git-* commands was more of a knee-jerk reaction, as suppose to the complaint about git-* going away, which would have been something that would affect me every time I hit '-'. Remember, before Linus stated that the 'git --exec-path' is not going to be deprecated, that was soon to disappear too. -- Steve
