I'm not concerned about my sensibilities, I'm concerned about the happiness of maintainers as a whole, and people editing other people's packages without due warning has caused lots of friction, over and over again. You're right, we *do* have very little manpower, which is all the more reason to not mess with other people's stuff without a little warning. I appreciate that you do a lot of work to test, it's great, and I appreciate that you want to get things done, but I don't appreciate doing it by stepping on other maintainers' toes. Especially when it's so easy to fire off an email *first* and keep your changes local for a few days until you get an OK to commit. So far, in my experience updating other people's stuff for Snow Leopard, everyone I've asked for feedback has responded in an hour or two. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
