There probably are more skilled people, I'm sure that there are more skilled people who could package everything that I package. However that's not the issue, the issue is who is the person who has the best combination of skill, time, and interest. The person with the most time and interest will surely make themselves known to the maintainer, so therefore the maintainer is the best person to decide who takes over. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
