I have no ire, neither about MTAs nor about any other package. I was
only asking the question (well, I've answered the question from my
view ;) on what the valuable time of bug squashing-parties should be
spent. If a fith MTA does make a valuable contribution, than that's
also ok - I just can't see a value that rectifies the usage of much
time on fixing the packages. Of course, your mileage may vary, and
it's always the decision of each single volunteer on what subject he
is spending his time - and I do welcome each single RC-bug solved.
Cheers,
Andi
