Hmm, do you think making deals with developers would be like making deals with dogs? Should I show them who's master? I'm more used to cats myself - and I'd certainly never make any kind of deal with a cat!

As for the developers, you can make the same deal I made many years ago with an irritating little lapdog belonging to one of my wife's relatives: "You don't pee on me and I won't pee on you". Except in this case the deal is "You don't modify my manuals and I won't modify your code". Sounds win-win to me!
