What some people don't seem to realize is something as simple as stating Daniel is working on the issue and possibly a status update every once in a while would be more than enough to keep people like me from going ballistic. From a regular DD perspective (outside of ftpmaster) it appears that they are doing nothing and that they are ignoring all emails asking what the status is. This has been a problem for years. A recent example of this was when several of the buildds were broken for months earlier this year. Chris
