12 I didn't realize you got together with other devs for giggle fests! ;)

17 And yet I see scarce few ideas on how to solve the problem. The only
18 other person who seems to have any are Ciaran, and what is his solution?
19 He's doing *code reviews* of ebuilds. *GASP* Imagine that!

26 The only reason I've seen, besides "I don't wanna" and "how dare you
27 question my l33t code skills", is the manpower/time issue. But my work
28 experience tells me that the sooner you find a bug, the easier/faster it
29 is to squash. So although my little idea *will* take time up front, it
30 has the /potential/ to save much more time later on.
