You didn't do an ITP. You did an RFP, that's different.

I became interested in xdiskusage and ITP'd it. Better make sure you tag your bugs properly next time. By the way, please file this bug under xdiskusage itself, as bug #88163 concerns the ITP only (it's filed against wnpp). I've seen the bug is real, so please file it.
