[ shrug... ] Well, I wrote that text, so naturally I like it the way it is ;-). Perhaps a neutral observer would like the shorter version better, not sure. But I think pluralizing "versions" is going to make it harder to construct the rest of the sentence non-ambiguously. You really only want to be talking about one data directory location and one wrapper script.
Yeah, I guess it can work either way. I don't feel too strongly about that one, so I'll leave it to David to argue for that standpoint if he thinks it applies here as well.
That leaves just the part of adding the actual new chapter of my patch. PFA. Thoughts on that?
