| 16 |
| being on base-system entails. |

Amen. |

| Member-wise, it looks like I'm now maintaining vixie-cron since I stuck |
| 22 |
| my filthy paws all over it, and Ka0ttic didn't say no fast enough to |
| 23 |
| avoid being suckered in as co-maintainer. Are there any people who would |
| 24 |
| be interested in the other daemons? They're mostly pretty small packages |
| 25 |
| (vixie is the nasty one) which don't get updated very often. |

I was sleeping =) Sounds good to me, though. |
