Thomas: Thank you for speaking up about distro packaging. I can't see us making changes that would put more work on you; that would not be sensible. But rather than us guessing about that, it is good that we heard from you directly.
Stefan: Thank you for the perspective about the how the current process is a manageable amount of work for a willing volunteer. I hope someone will step up. It occurs to me if anybody does work on automation or procedural changes, they would also benefit from experience of the current process. - Julian
