That's a fairly strong statement. I can't think of an occasion when this 
has happened on any matter of significance, and I can remember many 
times when Tom, Bruce and others have bowed to the consensus despite 
their own preferences.

Bruce said the other day that we are trustees of the code, and I don't 
think I could put it better. I know I am conscious of that.

cheers
