Good. I fully agree with that policy and I will respect that in
future. I just didn't understand why Cyril was so upset of my
report. I certainly did not mean to harass anyone but just let you
know in case you missed the announcement. As I said before, I have
made experiences with other maintainers who missed several new
upstream releases. You guys are a great example of someone who is
really fast and always up-to-date with upstream, so I don't need to
worry about future releases.
Again, I didn't mean to push anyone here but just wanted to let you
guys know in case someone missed it. I am very sorry for all the noise
I produced.
And thanks a lot for the very fast packaging, Cyril! Seriously ;).
Adrian
