How?  What exactly do you mean?  Or, rather, how is that different from what

Agreed.  One reason I'm less active on Club building is the interface to
deal with it is a severe PITA.  It needs to be more contribs-like, an easy
way to get packages in.  It also needs a controlled environment, like klama,
with chroots for older distribs that constantly have updates applied so that
stuff is built against a sane base.

It's a constant thing.  It's difficult not to let it.  It seems to always
get to the point where it takes more time and energy to manage the cooker
crowd than any other community.
