Even though we run redhat on our systems, as close to stock as we can, I
have found that your RPMs build more reliably than Trond's.

My bad for being unable to diagnose the build problems with the RedHat
SRPM, my double-bad for letting that failure prevent my reporting the
issu to him. 

But I for one will miss your lead on the bleeding edge of RPM
development.
