Just one remark on Marks comments (which I think are OK, and fink is
going fast in the direction he wants)

The number of bug reports coming in on the fink lists does not really
need to be increased. It is already quite impressive, and it is also
impressive how many of these bugs are being fixed extremely quickly. I
don't think the manpower would be available to cope with all the
problems posed by a possible binary repository for unstable.
