Has this ever occurred?  I have not seen a single instance of package 
creator doing a PUBLISH or VERIFY during the time I've been active in 
the project (like 7-8 months or so).

But never mind.  Maybe Warren and others had higher hopes for the 
participation enthusiasm which just didn't materialize to that degree 
for many reasons (like being too difficult to participate).  If we 
don't manage to get updates out, we'd be better dead.
