I would guess for the most part package is NEW are not totally new packages, but rather packages with a new upstream release that causes (minor?) ABI changes or e.g. changes in packaging because of licencing issues forcing _existing_ packages to go through NEW. In those cases I can well understand maintainer's frustration if NEW processing suddenly takes weeks again after we all just got used to having NEW processed within days for a while. Your point is valid, but I doubt it is valid for most packages currently waiting in NEW. Cheers, FJP
