I propose that the sense of the recommendation around upper bounds in the PVP be reversed: upper bounds should be specified only when there is a known problem with a new version of a depended-upon package.

This argument precisely captures my feelings on this subject. I will be removing upper bounds next time I make releases of my packages.

So we are certain that the rounds of failures that led to their being *added* will never happen again? -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
