While I didn't check the code, I would assume that it's possible to
change a "2" into a "5" before compiling. Thus this looks like a far too
disproportinal change to me, both for Marc as for others who would have
to adapt build framework, code and documentation.
Besides, this is a good example why the current development status of
exim isn't as problematic as it has been stated here before (by few
individuals). Exim is stable and functional. Everything that might be
needed in addition is more or less questionable and there are many
reasons for objecting its implementation. In addition to that, there are
people who do care for implementing fixes and the still outstanding
documentation.
In plain words: calling the exim project "dead" is simply stupid.
My apologies for mixing in an already closed thread, but I just felt
this had to be added after last weeks' messages.
Cheers,
