If it is something small, wouldn't it still require a short description in a story. With '[RFE]' or something like that in the title? (Or have I totally forgotten how we do things).
--ruby
So true. Although...
I concur. The only thing with RFE's and patch approvals is I think we
should remember that we want it to be easy. So processes like RFEs may
not be helpful to a "oh, this tiny little thing makes a lot of sense"
sort of things, since it quickly becomes a situation where you spend
more time on the RFE than the patch itself.

The additional code will be 'negligible' in size so ramdisk won't be bloated due to this. Also, it keeps things simple. Having a separate package means more maintenance overhead and confusion for our users.
