Hmm.  You're right, I did say this.  Sigh.....

It's just that I'm genuinely sick of 2.1 release engineering at this
point (and I mean *sick* of it) and after I remastered again tonite,
I found myself thinking:  "I really don't want to do this again."

Every time I re-roll a CD I have to rebuild all the kernels so I can
do IDE CDROM and standard versions (which isn't automated - that I
have to do by hand).  I've done it about 6 times now and I'm really
at the end of my rope (to say nothing of the box of CD blanks :-).

Pulling in your stuff won't be too hard, actually, since it doesn't
require that the boot floppies or kernels get rebuilt, so I'll pull
them into my tree in any case just so they'll be there if I end up
having to remaster.

But I'm sure you can understand how I'd not want to remaster *just*
for this, considering that it's pretty much all non-fatal stuff (except
maybe for ImageMagik, but I think we can survive the disgrace :-).
