Hi,

 as I read the following mail from the cvs-trigger, I have just a remark
and a question:

 a) I guess I could use this script for my stuff, too, throwing away the
implementation in my custom product, because the treshold here look
like a much better idea  :-)

 b) Would 'service_utils' not make a better place for such hepler script?
 Some widgets could use this script, too, if it would be in that place.

 As far as I know there is no explicit policy where to put such
 scripts; I would like to have such things in 'service_utils', but maybe
 there is a good reason not to do it. (Maybe 'service_utils' have been
 deprecated inbetween anyway?)

Just a question.
Clemens
