Hi Jesse, I continue to be amazed by the speed you respond to bugs in the Debian BTS! Thanks for the complete and accurate summary of the situation. I have nothing to add, just one comment from my point of view: > Personally, I'd rather work with the Debian maintainers to keep LimitCPU > as the upstream project and try to sort out bugs and missing features.

I share your bias :) I very much appreciate the excellent cooperation with you, and I don't see any point in switching to the new cpulimit version or in packaging both. Although the situation with cpulimit (old) and limitcpu (packaged as cpulimit) and cpulimit (new) is a bit confusing, in my opinion every alternative to continuing with limitcpu would result in an even bigger mess and more confusion for no visible gain for our users. Thanks again for all your work!
