31 Well, then I guess I am just suppose to wait till someone has time to do it.
32 Which leads me back to what I had planned to do in the beginning. See if
33 there is a solution we can come up with.Why not have have a single developer,
34 per herd maybe if the herd is big, that his/her sole responsibility is to
35 release software? Celeb doesn't have time, so he shoots and email to so and
36 so, and he tells them to release it?

51 I hate redhat, which in turn, makes me hate gnome since they use to be so tied
52 to it.. And sill are? You have no idea what I would like to do to gnome and
53 redhat for that matter.
