Often maintainers don't realize they have some of these packages, or the maintainers have left the project. Even your most stable packages get touched nearly once a year due to distribution changes. With a more active rpm upstream I suspect we'll be seeing even more need to rebuild everything, at least once a year. In fact, if we were only checking once a year, I bet many of these packages are going to get hidden behind the mass rebuilder. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
