Given that your posts consisted of:

I fail to see how I'm responsible for any of the issues raised in this
article. I wont even attempt to speak on Chris's behalf but I will say that I
am more than happy with the job Chris has done, since he took over as kde
maintainer. Perhaps that's because I'm judging him by the quality of his
packages and not by how vocal he is on this list. What makes you think he is
"all-but-AWOL" ?

The only thing I insinuated was that it's not a big effort to add a couple of
lines to your sources.list. You seem to be suggesting that you intend to
employ debian/unstable on dozens of workstations, presumably a production
environment: I'd say that editing a simple config file will be the least of
your problems and I would have thought you would be grateful that so much
hard work was going into minimising the effects of the transition to gcc3.2.
Or would you prefer it if your dozens of workstations were a bit more
unstable ?
As for the line wrap it's set to 78, always has been. Looks like a bug in
kmail when moving mails to or from the drafts folder. I'll try and reproduce
it. Anyone else seen anything similar ? Nothing on the kde bug page.
