Can't understand... Have edu and com a special status ?
The problem is that com/unknown/face.x[bp]m and
edu/unknown/face.x[bp]m are not very representative of their
domain and could have been changed... Why a special distrib for
these logos ????? Have you given to edu and com new faces ?
It also means that someone who wants to a use a Faces
software has to retrieve one more package than before !
Sorry, Steve, I really can't see the interest in a such
modification.
