   Have they? I really don't remember. I'll have to dig in a very dusty
archive to find a paper on the subject I know I should have.

ml> i know that some software i beta test for may not want to have to go
ml> thru some "approval methods" to be able to test a new flag proposal

   Temporary approvals have been used in Z2 to test such flags ;-)

ml> ... especially if those "approval methods" are as "time consuming"

ml> software in no time flat...

   I fail to see the connection.
