[Bf-committers] Could this be considered a bug?

[Rob Cozzens]

Auto-normalized vertex weights are a god-send.
Being able to easily have a vertex that is only 50% seems like a good idea
until you work on a system that lets you do that. Enormous amounts of time
are wasted making sure the weights on each vertex sum up to 100%.
