I am going to agree with Jer on this. As said before, ~arch users know that their systems will break sometimes, so if the package works for you, unleash it on ~arch. If someone using a configuration you don't have finds that it breaks, I'm sure it would be reported. Then you could determine whether the bug is severe enough to warrant a mask. William
