Yo Barry,

xfsprogs/doc/CHANGES

        - Rename include/list.h to xfs_list.h so that other applications
          do not accidentally use it.

What was the problem here?  This doesnt sound like the right fix -
there should be no applications outside of the XFS userspace that
use libxfs.h - thats what <xfs/xfs.h> is for (exactly this reason,
preventing namespace collision, by reducing all the XFS internals
being exposed).

Also, there seems to be lots of checkin mail not making it out to
oss.sgi.com (let alone review mail), making it difficult for people
to keep up to date with changes (and keep distros, like Debian,
uptodate) ... could y'all make some effort to keep us "on the
outside" in the loop?

Oh, noone is updating oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/{news,index}.html
with recent changes either - seems like progress has come to a
halt to those of us no longer in the secret cabal, anyway ;) ...
just FYI.

cheers.
