&gt; I propose that the distinction between HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs should be
&gt; abolished, because a grouping based on the sizes of the documents it is a
&gt; very arbitrary and non-intuitive distinction. In fact, some mini-HOWTOs
&gt; are longer than some HOWTOs. Approximately 2/3 of the mini-HOWTOs are
&gt; longer than the shortest HOWTOs!
Aboloshing the distrinction is a good idea, but it would confuse people.
mini HOWTOs are &quot;mini&quot; since they focus on a specific topic
