Well if you take it as offensive or whining etc alright. Actually its
not me that has a huge burden of packages to actively maintain and
also its not me that has a problem with getting things packaged and
deployed on my box.

Everyone who knows me is aware that i did over 100 packages for a few
years on newrpms. theres just a point where you dont have 16 hours a
day to dedicate to packaging and/or see other more important things
like doing upstream work etc.
