On the other hand, I think there is the very real danger that support
requests will be dropped. This happens from time to time on the
Google group (though hopefully less and less frequently), but I
honestly can't remember a time I've gone to sage-support and not been
told, "go to sage-devel", if I got a response at all (though this is a
while ago). That doesn't meant Dave is wrong, but means there needs
to be some solution.
