May I, therefore, take it that when you can find the time you will interact with the end-users?
I try :/ but the forums just take up too much time to go through and i end up fighting the system more than the content itself.
I appreciate that.
In my case, I read all the major CentOS m/ls *with the exception* of the general m/l (for reasons that are irrelevant to this discussion) and rely on others to give me a bump if there is something therein that I really should read.
No one has the time to do everything / read everything, everywhere. Hence that is why there are persons, such as Akemi or myself, who will act the "middle man", if necessary.
I see that Akemi has (quite independently) expanded upon the reasoning for why I (we) occasionally post here in the above capacity.
And finally, although my initial post was to ask if one of the core-devs would please respond to the forum thread and mentioned the names of those in whose general direction I was looking, I note that you are the only one to respond. At times, KB, I sense that you try to do far too much for one person -- so perhaps one of the other previously mentioned names could find the time to explain the status of the php packages, still in the testing repo (even after we, forum helpers, have prompted many users of those packages to report their success to this m/l) and why they have not been promoted to C-Plus (or extra, whatever the appropriate location might be). ;-)
