Never! :)

I'm pretty busy lately, though, and will be until the last week of

Hrm. Upstream's opinion is important, and we don't want to piss him off.
On the other hand, the huge code duplication is no fun, and the security

If it's *only* useful with g-v-a, I'd agree, but if it might be useful for
other frontends that can be used in Debian, I'd go for Mess^WMame^WMess...
whatever. :)
