| warren	f13, after last push, let's be sure we didn't add a terrible new broken dep.
| f13	warren: sounds great, when will you have the report in?
| warren	that's all.
| f13	there are currently no broken deps detectable in the push tool for Core 6, I have no idea what Extras looks like

FE6 has been free of broken deps for a long time and still is. Running
extras-repoclosure on the needsign repo (and sometimes on updates-testing)
prior to doing pushes has served very well. After receiving private mail
about any broken deps caused by packages in needsign, most packagers have
usually taken action within the next 48 hours. Only in a few cases it was
necessary to delete the blocked/unreleased packages when they became older
and older without any fix in sight.
