The BugSquash events are generally considered to be exceptions to the norm. If you have a problem with the waiver they issued, take it up with them, not me.

If there was I didn't receive it; perhaps you could send me the Message-ID so I can look for it? Do you intend to incorporate the changes I made in my NMU or should I just forget about them? -- G.
