personally, i miss dom's periodic round-up mails. yes, i know i can get
exactly the same thing on the web, but whenever it came around i made a
point of seeing if there was anything i could work on, and when i yum'ed a
-testing package onto my server, i went straight to the roundup to find
the bugzilla page to log my +VERIFY.
dom, is there any chance you'd consider posting these regularly?

is it worth starting discussion about separate releases, particularly as
we move towards inheriting FC2? i can see the advantages of pushing out,
say, php fixes for all platforms at once, but i'm not sure they outweigh
the problems caused by the extended wait for the +VERIFYs for the unloved
distributions.
or are we having enough acrimonious discussions already?
