However, we've seen that this is not always the case with every package, especially with packages that are used by a very small subset of our users. <snip> > From the user point of view it is simply lot of work, lot of > maintaining a distribution to fill a bug for every action that should > be made on package.

It's not like we get paid to do this or anything. > Again, I agree that we should help, but if our busyness does not allow > it for a while, the packages should move anyway. Yes, they should. Again, it simply doesn't always happen. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
