With this comment, it is clear to me that you do not know what I've
done. What "opportunity"? This was in CVS, only in CVS. No tag, no
rebuild, no damage, nothing that justifies that you jump the bandwagon
and criticise me the way you do with such a general slap in the face.
And seriously, this has not been an emergency situation where something
like hanging around on IRC and occupying other people would have been
justified. I've found a couple of packages with the same tiny
mistake/typo, and without querying owners.list I've fixed it quickly
instead of wasting time in bugzilla. The majority of package owners
would be glad about it--and in case they would revert the change with
their next cvs-import, no harm would be done either-and about the
saved time, since submitting, loading and closing tickets in bugzilla
takes extra time.

So, be so kind, take a look at the diff, and if you then are still in 
a mood to attack me, oh my...
