I don't have any children (except myself) and I still don't sleep. :-)

To much delay as the TDK isn't updated nearly as much as Turbine is. I

That is very rare and always fixed within about 24 hours.

I wasn't talking about maintaining your own version of Turbine.

Only that myself and others are fixing Turbine bugs on a daily basis and at
