I wanted packages that: 1) had stabilized in their layout (number of packages, their names, and contents) so that the package relationship control data didn't stretch into the gigabytes 2) were stable enough that I didn't have wankers filing hundreds upon hundreds of redundant bugs in an onanistic frenzy everytime I made some little slip-up You know, kinda like the way I went nuclear on Wichert when he broke vim. -- G.
