Hi Folks

Note that we are currently in GUI freeze. While I support the fix we
should liase with the community / documentation team to see if these
changes will be ok for them. Tara / Otto can you please give the go
ahead if possible?

As a general rule we need to consult the  community / documentation
team before doing any GUI changes prior to 1.0 release with some
comment on impact levels they may expect.

+1 for the change from my point of view pending their ok.

Regards

Tim
