Either you're trying very hard to not get it or you haven't read my
previous email carefully enough.

Let me try and be clearer. The packages I'm concerned with have had
their distfiles backed up. We're not yet in that situation but the day
the publisher stops distributing these distfiles, I'll be ready to
send the right email to the (hopefully) right person and hope for the
best. I was suggesting we did that more often. And with that I'll stop
here, because these childish arguments are not worth any more of my
time.

Denis.
