Bell, Justice,
concurring specially.
I agree with the result in this case, because there is no applicable statute of repose. See my special concurrence in Lumbermen’s Mut. Cas. Co. v. Pattillo Constr. Co., 254 Ga. 461, 466 (330 SE2d 344) (1985). However, I would continue to apply the discovery rule in instances where there is a statute of repose.
