Ok. Didn't know what the policy about tagging in GOBO was.

Yes, in can understand your PoV. I was somehow expecting such an answer ;-)

I will try to find another way to do what I was planing to do. The current  
EiffelStudio tree does not require a proper bootstrap of GOBO, the  
'generated' stuff is checked in (not that I ever liked that ... *sigh*). I  
will probably still enforce proper bootstrapping of GOBO, though it takes  
a little longer, ignoring the pre-generated code.
