Oh, I know that. I have had a package in there for almost three weeks 
now. I asked not because I have a package ready (hence my refusal to 
take ownership of the bug - I don't know whether I'll scale the odds), 
but because I don't want to do all this work if it can be for-concluded 
it's going to be in vain.
