This is probably my fault for not keeping a closer eye on things.
Ville, Rendhalver, please accept my apologies. But in hindsight, I
think the only thing I would have done differently would have been a
longer lead-in time from Pre-Release to Release.

Sounds like a pretty good idea.

Yep. Nothing that copious amounts of beer and pizza couldn't fix. :-)

Noted. I'll try to keep a closer eye on things.

And don't forget that I'm always available via email, ICQ, phone, or
in person to help you with any package issues.
