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.
