   I have been contributing to Debian for about 8 years, and mocking the
delay and the decisions of the release team for about 3 weeks (11/30 to
12/20). You have every right to call this "regular", but if you do I
am afraid I don't know how I may convince you that this was something
isolated, especially if you already read my answer to Steve on the very
same subject.

   Maybe it is just a linguistic problem. Is it "last" that you find
offensive or is it "measure"?
