Just simple misunderstanding. Ralf, this entire service is informational only. Maintainers don't need to do anything with this information, particularly if it isn't being filed as bugs and only provided on a webpage. They can simply ignore the information or even pretend that the website doesn't exist. The "opt-out" that Till is talking about is that by default, his service would manage every package it is capable of. A maintainer would have to opt-out of having their package monitored. But again, even if the package /is/ monitored, they don't have to do anything with that information. There is no bureaucracy here, just potentially useful information a maintainer can choose to look at or not. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
