I will thank you to stop maligning the integrity of our release manager. Even if his contributions to Debian *weren't* significant enough to warrant a great deal of respect, comments like this are certainly not helpful to a community still trying to get a release out the door. It would be a wonder to me if AJ isn't considering resigning, when this is the response he gets to honest expressions of concern, and it would be a great loss to the project if he did. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
