Franklin,
In your estimatation, how many files are waiting for fixed primitives to
be certified? Right now, of the 77 primitives on the system, I count 7
as being fixes.
Here's another viewpoint: Any primitive files in the PT system *should*
have a strong effect on the parts that use them. Especially primitives
that are Held. If there's something wrong with these files, we
shouldn't release files that potentially reference the bad features. We
should address the unofficial primitives, either certifying good ones,
or removing bad ones.

| Steve, There is a "bug" with the certification list on the tracker. It is considering any primitive listed in the tracker to be a "subfile", regardless of whether or not that primitive already exists in the field (i.e., has already been included in (...)
