This comes out of different interpretations of whether builds that sometimes fail (but often not) are RC buggy. You know that also I have a different opinion here. So, if you really want to have your interpretation to be the commonly accepted one, you should discuss it here and see whether you reach a common acceptance with your interpretation. Otherwise it is IMO OK if a package maintainer has her own idea of whether an occaisonal build failure is RC. Best regards Ole
