- | Guys (and Gals) ---- release engineeering is hard work, and in general
- | no fun. You should be thanking those people who have been putting
- | together the MCC release, the TAMU release, or the MJ release, not
- | complaining about how the maintainers should be putting even more of
- | their free time into it. If you're not satisifed with the quality of
- | those releases, put one together yourself! If it's better than all the
- | others, everyone will start using it.

- ...but some are not updated, some are confusing, etc. Why not have one
- release that has everything? A bunch of files that can be rawritten
- to a disk or something. Update these files biweekly and plop them on the
- major FTP sites. It will at least get all the newbies all on the right
- track. Patches can be distributed biweekly also for whomever wants to
- update their system.
-
- Do I hear you volunteering for the job?
