Thank you!

Judging by the current vote outcome and the interest of the people
actually doing the work on this right now, I think we'll call it
Distribute - driven by the Fellowship of the Packaging. There needs to
be some silliness involved ;-)

Sure. Bug management that only consists of applying well tested and
thought out patches wouldn't be any fun. I made my choices of which
bugs and patches to accept, as seen from my progress report. Obviously
I left out all the hard ones for now.

I hope we will be able to get some more productive and constructive
discussions than the usual heated debates we see on this list. It's
good to know that you are in principe willing to share your expertise
with us.

Thanks,
