I guess I really did a lot of harm with mentioning the 6 months. As I 
mentioned numerous times now, the length of the linking exception will 
depend on the significance of your contribution. If I understand you 
correctly with what you've written in the remainder of your message, 
some contributions warrant an unlimited linking exception. Is that what 
you have in mind? Would that solve your headaches?
