Re: Documentation for 8.0
In all this fuss, I'm really surprised no one has pointed out that the
Manual Set is not an atomic unit. There are only a couple of manuals
that are likely to be scarce resources at a particular site. If the
cost of an extra copy or two of, e.g., 2{A,B} is low, then everyone
should be happy:
o We won't exceed the Miser Threshold (MT) of the accounting dept.
o Symbolics won't be wasting precious resources providing handsome
frames for shrinkwrap.
o We'll each get the manuals we need (as opposed to the manuals we
somehow think we "deserve").
o Radical environmentalists won't be tempted to drive metal spikes into
our Chinese food.
