I think that this was a cheap shot post all the way.
I have had nothing but success with Axel's repository and would
wholeheartedly recommend using it with dag's and freshrpms.
You are wrong that the doesn't care - he has demonstrated time and time
again that the cares.
Obviously, you have an axe to grind and have no hesitation to grind it.
I hate to have to see him defend himself against inflated attacks like
this.
