Problem summary


    

  • Unexpected results with rmdo -before and -since options.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • After analysis of this defect, we have determined that it

dictate that we concentrate our efforts on more critical
issues
that can be addressed within a reasonable amount of time.
Since
this defect has no harmful side effects and there is an easy
workaround, we do not plan to expend resources to fix it in
the
foreseeable future.
To work around the problem, use explicit arguments:
  ct rmdo ?DO1? ?DO2? ...
