I know a lot of people who just want to track down ports changes in cvs-ports@, they don't want to contribute and they don't want to get committers hats. > In this case I find it useful if they learn most common mistakes > *before* they start making them themselves. > This is one of rare cases when one can learn on others' mistakes > as well (i.e., good) as on their own.
