Anyway, I don't need a new version until I need a new version,
and that's when I know I need a new version and I download it.
I don't download it if I don't need a new version. What I'm
reading here is that people are installing and maintaining
stuff they don't need, which I suppose explains the 2544
packages. I'd certainly never deny people the ability to
easily maintain unused and unnecessary software and we're
headed *way* off-topic, but I was just struck by how odd it
seemed that somebody who needed the new release of xml2rfc
would be frustrated by it not being in the absolutely,
completely, 100% farkakte ports system.
