Thomas-
I like sometimes to print a piece of code. Without
reformating it.
But that's what code formatters are for. I'm no fan of hard line breaks --
I have a reasonably large screen, and with all the whitespace that's
necessary for well formatted code, I need to make use of it in order to
make basic constructs visible. IMHO this kind of formatting should be done
dynamically as needed.
I'm more interested in things like those I mailed
some weeks ago:

(still unanswered, of course ;)
The general answer to questions like this is "just do it". Use your own
best judgment.
Or the policy should clear the topic of a
''code freeze'', which is never
lifted, but nobody seems to remember that.
Well, I do remember it, and what Lee originally wrote is
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=wikitech-l&m=105366788222813&w=2
"I'd like to strongly suggest that we put the software into feature
freeze for at least a week until all the wikis are fully functional
with the latest software, and they can all be updated from the
scripts in the distribution."
We all observed the code freeze for a week as Lee suggested, but nobody
did the necessary updates. Making updates easier is one of the reasons
behind the new development policy.

Erik
