Hi,

How many times is Mageia going to say "thanks, but no thanks"? how
many more bug reports/breakage does cooker have to suffer to make it
clear that Mageia doesn't want the same headache, in the near future
at all?

Personally I don't want to see mageia-dev ML have the same
rpm5-main-water-pipe explode in it like what happened in cooker@,
suddenly rpm5 is the answer to everything, from Jeff Johnson's point
of view, well, good for you. :)

You wanna know why people can't communicate better? see how long
proyvind's emails usually are. You didn't get bored? :)
