I guess I should better shut-up as my opposition was silently rejected. But I still wonder what will happen with those patches already in cvs which are larger than 30kB (BTW I suppose Byte (B) not bit (b))?
As a side note: does this limit also apply to info files? Before anyone claims there aren't any, there are a few:
34835 ./10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/webmin-1.100-1.info
34835 ./10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/utils/webmin-1.100-1.info
