11 It does do harm. It prevents our package management system from doing
12 what it's there to do.

14 If they're modifying the bundled adodb incompatibly, then the USE flag
15 would also be obsolete because you'd need to force it to be bundled.
16 What would help more is a good swift kick in the pants to the people
17 doing the modifying to tell them to send their changes to adodb
18 upstream.
