Although it adds some lag, I strongly believe it detects a lot of mistakes and
it still has its interest. The mistakes they detected from my packages really
needed to be fixed. I thank the ftp-masters for detecting them. And wait for
the delay.
Yes, sometimes their decisions are questionable, but the overall interest of
the NEW queue shouldn't be an issue.
And I don't think I am really worse than the average packaging quality
