Good. Given that I've done only very little so far, it's good that at
least some others don't take that as a role model. As a sad fact, I've
been struggling the past 3 days for getting my home box not only
upgraded, but also smoothly running. I now know again why I do this only
once a year. Argh. -- Okay, off topic.

Why? Would it possibly interfere with something? If we remove it from
there, I think we have to have a template for new modules, which also
details how to write a proper new() . Ideally people would stick to the
outline given there. It doesn't really ease things if everyone develops
his own initialization structure.

Having a generic new() in RootI obviously doesn't help either ... so
there aren't probably so many reasons to keep it there. :)

No. Appreciated.
