The mail said:
! For buildds, we're changing how that's handled on auric.  For now,
! please send Ryan and me the following info:

I don't want to nitpick, but the original mail doesn't imply for me sending
you both a *private* mail. You're both subscribed to the list and have asked
on the list. So, it's just obvious to answer via the list. Furthermore it's
quite common for m68k-build to answer with hitting the "g" key for a group
reply in mutt, which will result in a mail to the list and in a private mail.
Therefore I'm quite sure that James got more private answers than you, because
he was the author of the mail. Would you have contacted us directly on your
own, I'm sure you would have received all mails as well as a private copy.

I said nothing against that testing, just that the testing period of 5 days
are quite long to just show that it's working again. 1-2 days would have been
enough to see whether it works or not, and the info we have now is not that
difficult to justify some days more to wait (IMHO).

Granted.
Thx so far for your work, but I would wish a better and more direct
communication for the future. I hope that will be possible. :-)
