But just as I got curious about tripwire, I was > scared away: I guess I mininterpreted you and you were seconding Manoj's objection, or some such thing? Anyway, it's been corrected. (As an aside, I wish people would stop saying "I second that" to things that are not a formal proposal. If it's not a formal proposal, it doesn't need seconds, and a second is juat another "AOL!"/"Me too!". And it makes my job harder. It's spilling over into debian-devel as well.
