Well, I'll rise to the bait ... Please keep in mind that compilation speed and technical problems of other ports is exactly what brought you today's support architecture of build dependencies, build-from-source systems like sbuild, autobuilders, just to name a few. Hell, Debian on m68k Macs was there before Debian on Powermacs and other PowerPC machines. Package quality has improved a huge lot over the years, but there's still a lot to be done. And the more architectures to shake out bugs on, the better. Thank you for your attention. We now return to your regular scheduled programming. Michael
