It is being done on a per-case basis, isn't it? Like you described the libuid versus uuid-runtime? So, it is not a mass-filing, and it is OK. Just file the bugs one by one, with your reasoning, and tag them with usertags if you want to control them as an unit or something. A mass-filing for this (the exact oposite of studying each recommends in a case-by-case basis) _IS_ going to cause imense pushback. I recommend against it ;-) -- Henrique Holschuh
