Like I said, it's not about advantage, it's about not being a jerk to the maintainer and changing their stuff without them at least having a chance to respond. I know you have a hard time with that, since you apparently have no concept of "personal space" on the internet, but humor us. The rules are not designed to get the maximum package-tude out in the fastest time possible, they're there because we're a community of developers volunteering our time, and people get really frustrated when other people mess with their stuff. It's just the nice thing to do. A couple of days is not the end of the world. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
