Nobody asks you questions? I did, and I must say that they usually ended in
new features being added, which is simply perfect from my stand point :-)

Today, mach does all I expect, and clearly became my most used tool after
rpm, as _all_ current freshrpms.net packages, may it be for Fedora Core or
Yellow Dog Linux, are built using it. I can only advise rpm packagers to
give it a try, poke Thomas with ideas, discuss missing features on the
(quite silent) mailing-list, submit patches...
