Yeah. Sigh. Instead of jumping to negative conclusions and getting angry, how about just asking the question if you are unsure. In this case "take care of" probably means file a removal bug for the rdepend and then remove the moreinfo tag once that's been processed. We get stacks of removal bugs and there's no way the FTP team can keep mental track of the state of all of them. The moreinfo tag is our tool to know when it's time to review a bug again. No bullying, just asking for a little help moving along the removal you asked for. Scott K
