Daniel Stone,
You need to update your people skills. Given your present arrogance and
attitude, maybe you shouldn't be a debian maint. Why should you be trusted?

One of the things you said, is:
Some packages refuse to install, and of course, break apt in the process.
Right now, I'm *hopefully* going to be able to repair a totally hosed

One more thing...
You are correct, that developers need to test and not cause syntax errors
before uploading packages, even to unstable or woody. But people do, and
-if- you're using unstable or woody in production, errors and problems you
get are your responsability. If not, file appropriate

it will go anywhere as it based on an obsolete monolithic design but some
people seem to like so it might be a good addition to Debian. The license
is GPL so it can go in main.
Let me know if anyone is working on this.

If debian puts a 2.4 in, they will have to spend time testing it.
there's enough to do without more stuff that we don't even know will be

If you want 2.3 or 2.4, build it yourself. Look into kernel-package.

Perl is just another app.
For most distributions, this is true. Proof: you can run those dists without
perl.
For debian, however, Mike's statement is not valid. Proof: try to release
debian without perl in any form. You're gonna find that perl happens to have
