(speaking from a libcurl perspective) The "warning" is just there to scare people into actually consider what they want and understand that removing bits will change behavior. I would say that's exactly what you've done and I don't think people here need to be scared anymore! :-) As for how ALL vs DEFAULT will act or differ in the future, I suspect that we will end up having them being the same (even when we add bits) as we've encouraged "ALL" in the documentation like this for quite some time. -- / daniel.haxx.se -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
