I think everyone agrees that there should have been a new package prepared for bo.
So we made a mistake. I'll never understand why free software gets
held to higher standards than commercial software. If this were a
Microsoft product everyone would just shrug their shoulders and get
on with life because they know nothing will be done within a year
(if at all).

Everyone in Debian is a volunteer. We're working just as many hours (or
more) as you and are doing this in our free time. And still, we manage to
put out a high quality product with support that most companies can only
dream about.

Please cut us a little slack or become a developer and help us do things
even better.
