This was written last Thursday, mid-day - thus, you have slightly less than
24 hours (assuming I'm feeling pedantic about exactly when I do this, but I
won't guarantee anything *more* than 7x24 hours from the origional posting)
to raise objections, if you have any.
I believe the only one so far (by Robert, regarding the Debian architecture
string being used for patches) has been addressed, insofar as it is
possible to address, and certainly isn't any worse than what we have today.
Thus, barring any other objections, I'll assume everyone is either OK with
it, or doesn't much care (okay, it's probably the latter, but that will
suffice :)
