Having me on 100 fucking mailing lists looking for things or having those sparc dist maintainers contact me or this mailing list when something specific comes to their attention?

Ubuntu did. And both the Fedora and Ubuntu sparc folks sit on a sparc developer IRC channel and have direct access to me 24 hours a day if they want to ask something or get something tested. You're being dense and bringing up scarecrows to dismiss my fundamental argument. Which is that it doesn't make sense, nor scale, for me to follow what ever dist in the world does with my work. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
