I think we should institute a size limit on xemacs-patches too. Just so the guys with the smaller patches don't feel second-class ;-> Seriously, what limit should we put in? Only 5 patches since 25 Oct 1998 were over 200Kbyte, three of which came from Ben. But the biggest was only over 600Kbyte. 200Kbyte seems reasonable to me. Opinions?
