it's great that you've taken such an interest in helping the maintainers but you seem to have developed an attitude of scorn that really seems unjustified. everyone accepts that all of the maintainers involved with any part of debian actually have other imperatives going on in their lives, and that if and when those imperatives take precedence over the tasks of the distribution for which they've taken on responsibility, such absences that occur do not in any way mitigate the debts of gratitude and respect that the rest of us owe them. what gives you the right to suggest that chris cheney or anyone else is required to provide you with prior notice of any absence? and another thing, if you're going to make a habit of belittling any maintainer's performance, at least have the balls to identify yourself, instead of hiding behind a personal acronym on a web-based mailer. ben
