Only if asked for help :) an O: being a corner case I admit. ATM I'm
looking for my place in the OSS world, I'd prefer Debian but I am no
patient guy, 4 weeks w/o any reaction not even an acknowledgement of
receipt are akin to a denial for me.
It's easy: I won't bother you anymore with this if you don't ask me to
contribute or help. and I'll refrain from following up to O:, RFH: &c.
