STATUS doesn't say +1 means that... (?)

+1 means you've reviewed the specific change, and think it is good be
merge.

The "concept" concept was discussed here with Justin Erenkrantz:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=142955

He described it somewhat differently from this... The current text of
the STATUS file was written based on what Justin said in that thread.

Agreed.

Arrgh :-).

I also originally thought that "concept" meant "I like the idea".
Justin corrected me, said it meant something else, something that did
include a code review. I assumed he was taking a conventional meaning
from httpd-land, and that therefore you would be using the same
meaning. Now you say that you think it means what I *originally*
thought it meant!

+1 on ditching the fscking concept concept altogether, and just using
"+0" (w/ discussion) to indicate non-binding approval :-).
