Benjamin,
Your concept of personal space also assumes that we have adequate
manpower to maintain fink in a usable state. I would remind you that if I
hadn't pushed through some of the changes I made unilaterally for
x86_64 support in fink we would be no where near having a usable
x86_64 release at this time. If your sensibilities would be less
offended, I would happy to revert all of those changes and resign
all of my packages.
Jack
