Why thank you for the compliment and for trusting the community. I'll 
gladly admit not everyone with a CVS account has excellent packaging 
skills, but everyone has gone through the sponsorship process and just 
has been tested to have some packaging skills and more importantly to be 
thrustworthy. As said I maintain 98 packages, and have had none of them 
touched in a harmfull way. Just because someone is a beginning packager 
doesn't mean that he will start submitting random changes to other 
peoples packages.
