Sometimes that's not possible, for example if its a kernel module for a wireless card you don't have or if you signed off for x86_64 when all your machines are i686. I could have implemented the feature in less time than its taken to discuss it, guys. Its not a big deal to send an e-mail if you screw up. Besides, arch devs don't make mistakes. Or if you do, just blame Allan! Dusty
