I think this has been the argument all along, actually. People are trying to figure out why "a tiny binary in a large package filled with binaries" is more important than "a tiny function in a single binary". > I'm with Manoj's suggestion.

Then again, I'm not the maintainer, and I don't want to be, so my opinion is just that -- opinion. I don't envy Brian in the slightest. pcmcia-cs is a pain. :) ... Adam
