That would introduce some delay which, though generally probably not even noticeable, would become a problem if there's an issue with the "preferred" buildd (such as things being broken and the maintainer on a day trip, which isn't all that uncommon) -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
