Hmm, I won't respond to any mails which include personal attacks. This mail could even be seen as an exception... Are you seriously considering having wxwindows2.4 in the archive with only survex (and ctsim?) as reverse dependencies? Will you upload version 2.8 (or 3.0) to be ready for Lenny? Do you think 3.0 will be ready in time to be able to skip 2.8? What versions do you intend to have included in Lenny?
