	Heh ;+) in that case they need a support contract clearly ;-)

	My suspicion is that the other freedesktop projects would hate that,
and that this is something that we'd need to share with them; making it
rather difficult to fix.

	Hence the most-annoying tracker for 'blockers' and so on - I guess we
could introduce other trackers for important-but-not-MAB type things
but ... there are clearly diminishing returns in interest from very long
lists.

	ATB,

		Michael.
