great! one of the things i like about org is the close attention to user-oriented nature of maintenance. everything on mailing list, maint branch, compilation warnings few, etc. this is more of the same user-oriented goodness.
i have noticed an impressive amount of bug fixing, code improvement, documentation improvement type of activity recently and it is greatly appreciated. it's a kind of user-openness attitude that i think improves the software. by analogy, kind of like including science-oriented research subjects to get knowledge and noticing and priorities instead of imposing an arbitrary wall.
