Thanks Jim.

BTW - Do you have these policy preferences collected somewhere?  I don't
remember seeing some of them in the general GNU standards document.  If
they are coreutils-specific would it make sense to have a section in
HACKING (or maybe a dedicated standards.txt supplement) to explain them?

I think that could be a useful educational tool for relatively
inexperienced contributors (like me), and could help reduce the noise in
patches that are submitted to the list.

Thanks,

Bo
