This section can be much shorter and clearer. 99069 2 randy.macleod 2024-05-23 15:26:50 +0000 Rob, could you just send a patch to see what people think of the new wording? 100095 3 randy.macleod 2024-10-31 15:09:24 +0000 Bulk move of 5.1 bugs to 5.2. -- YP bug review (Randy) 101963 4 randy.macleod 2025-05-15 18:27:35 +0000 I think that YP devs are aware of the abstractions that we use and that this statement is not confusing unless you're really just getting started with YP and if so, you have lots of other 'confusing' things to puzzle out.
