Yep, thats fine. I wasn't meaning to complain about the time it takes - 
that is to be expected. I guess I was just expressing a concern about 
the direction the project is taking.  As long as any submitted packages 
will be accepted into the repositories, it will be great. I was worried 
that by changing the focus from 'high-quality, 3rd party rpms, for the 
RedHat Linux distribution' to 'a complete, general purpose operating 
system (built) exclusively from free software', that someone somewhere 
would be selecting which packages can be included, rather than allowing 
any packages someone wants to submit.
