I like the idea. Frankly, I've never quite understood this "hands off my package" attitude. As long as someone isn't breaking my package (and is fixing it if they do), I am happy to have an NMU. After all, it's one less thing I have to do to it, right? I do get extremely irritated when someone NMUs my package and breaks it and disappears. But that's only happened a couple of times to me. -- John Goerzen Author, Foundations of Python Network Programming http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593715 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
