What would you suggest is a fair warning period?
Since December 15th had been announced as the cutoff date months ago,
I think it's fair to say that the 17th is actually an extension.
However, in order to defuse charges of Ameri-centrism, I have asked
Emacs to pick a random number between 0 and 23 to add to the date
that I gave. It said 17. So, the cutoff will be:
16:59 GMT -0800 2001-12-18
So, Europeans, you now have no excuses. :-)
