Let me just collate some quotes of you in the last 24h:

Your buzilla comment:
a) I do not use ATrpms so I have never had any problems myself.

A comment in a previous mail
b) Actually, I did once use ATrpms a long time ago,

A comment in this mail
c) Let me describe my latest issue with ATrpms which I had to deal
   with not more than a few weeks ago

A couple more replies and you will be admitting to be a regular ATrpms
user? :)

Anyway since you bring it up, yes, I thing some of these sentences
contradict, so not all of them can be true, right?

Now on to the next piece of FUD. I think you're now despeately trying
to invent issues. You mention nx. nx entered ATrpms when extras was
rejecting it. It was carefully packaged *in cooperation* with the
person that did the fedoranews article and later managed to get it
into extras. At all times compatibility and upgradablity were ensured,
and any improvement made on ATrpms' side were communicated back to the
current package maintainer in extras. I think you really picked a bad
example, invent something else.
