It's not an opinion. If the goal is to get the files into the distribution (I can't think of any other purpose served by mailing a German kbmap to Dave), then it is easier for him, and in general for all of us who maintain the distribution, if you submit things using the patch scripts instead of emailing files. Patch gives us the necessary context to understand the changes and makes it really easy for us to apply the changes and push them out. Russ
