This is no threat, this is a fact.

It got proposed because no one was able to give correct explanations about why it hadn't been included. I still believe it was a mistake to release without amd64. That doesn't make me think the entire sarge release process was wrong; in fact it is certainly our best release ever. (Actually, I was already told I'm complaining too much about things going wrong and never telling people when they are doing a great job. But if I had to shout it loud whenever I think someone does a great job, it would suck all my time.) > What required time, skill, planning and energy > was the process of actually teaching other folks the skills they needed > to help out; of the five volunteers only two worked out.

"Letting things rot" is what *could* have happened, had you go on with this position without finding it interesting enough. Regards, -- .''`.
