I think Progeny's post was suitable, although, IIRC it was posted to
-devel, and probably should have been on -project aswell. However,
that's a quibble.

I'm going to write this in a Q/A format, mainly because these are
commonly asked questions, so I wanted to answer them in a direct way.

My name is Ben Collins. I am a husband of 6 years, and father to 4
year and 6 month old boys. I'm 28 years old and currently wor
#x27;t think we should propogate to unstable automatically at all. It
is the wrong thing to do, and will cause more problems if everything
isn't synced for all archs.

e. If you want we can start this flamewar again
and I can start up with "OH yeah, let's just crack the phone books and
call everyone and let them be a developer!!", but that isn't what this is
about. It's merely a maintainence issue, don't make it out for somethi
and their lack of interest might be holding up others in the NM
process that ARE willing to contribute. NM team needs to set a hard limit
on how long they will persue a potential developer, after that they get
dequeued.
