Good time of the day, Fred.

I think we have to be careful here - when injuring one - I do not think Chris S. wanted to say anything bad against the repo, but rather to make it more perfect - the Debian wiki pages he has found while becoming familiar w/ Debian. Otherwise we risk to end up w/ many people that would not even try to make things better - the thing that is not good/project_profitable. That's OK to correct but not to injure - IMHO.
