While three of me might not be much fun for me yeah, that's pretty much what I'm getting at.

I've built up too many relationships that allow us to get fixes out with the rest of the vendors instead of playing catchup like we used to when I first started. I can't afford to throw that away, and neither can MandrakeSoft, and certainly our users appreciate timely updates for new vulns... they can't afford it either.
