I'm getting a little annoyed at this conversation.

Apparently it is not acceptable for things to be not-working or
less-good in rawhide. Apparently, we have to go from one working state
to another perfectly working state w/o passing through any situation in
which it is not as functional.

We told everyone up front that what is going on right now is slower and
larger while we work on getting it right and yet that doesn't seem to
stop the useless bitching and moaning w/o any offers of help at all.
