You are wrong to think you would be the only person noticing and reporting FTBFS bugs. I always do this extra work, and this included times when I reported more than 100 FTBFS bugs in a week. I did see that trimesh was in BD-Uninstallable after passing NEW yesterday, and I did immediately know why because I added affects to 1084781 and dep-wait to skimage when I checked the skimage FTBFS 2 days ago. I did the extra work of checking what the problem was, and now I got double extra work by handling a bug from someone who failed to do so. As another example, I know that there is likely a 3 digit number of packages with unsatisfiable build-depends right now due to the openmpi FTBFS. Doing the extra work of reassigning a 3 digit number of bugs that someone reported without doing some minimal effort would not be fun for me. > Thanks for the reassign. cu Adrian
