<div><div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Patches welcome, we are not impeding progress and bugfixing on the archs actually can do it on and which users depend on because you demand we do so yet give us no help what so ever when we ask for it.<br>
<br>When I suggested we disable PPC temporarily nobody said a thing in protest. You had your chance both to help and to object to the course of action.<br><br>- David<br></div></div>
