I would much rather that the peanut gallery stop, in which

Are you, then, setting up a system for the security team to be
able to build packages for testing? (you did mention you needed no
further help from anybody). Is there a reason you are not indeed

think things are being done well enough, and that you can do better,
by all means go ahead and scratch your itch.
