There's so much material to package and so little time. You don't do FE packagers any favour by accepting everything they propose blindly. Sometimes providing a checklist of strongly recommended technical features will help them choose between competing apps. And they don't discover after months of gruelling packaging work they bet on the wrong horse - no one's interested in foo app because bar does the same (and is IPv6/UTF-8/x86-64/GTK-2 whatever compatible) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
