Adding the number of 'All NNN patches' to the -rc3-mm*: >... Actually you'd have to add 3 x NNN to get a roughly correct number. But then there's the question what you want to measure. Now you are measuring the amount of patches (that is already printed in the announcements). If you want to measure the amount of changes, you should better substract this from the older ones instead of adding it to the newer ones. The next problem is that e.g. in BK times, Greg's trees were only a few lines of the announcement, while now every single patch in his trees is listed... cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
