Meaning, you want to have someone else to push your package though, who
wont hold you to standards.

You claim you want democracy, when things arent going your way.
But here's the thing; Democracy is all about "the majority of people who
'vote'", and the majority of people who "voted" here today on the list,
were in favor of keeping ARCH=all free of arch specific binaries.
So if you TRUELY respected this democracy you claim you wanted, you would
say, "sorry, I was wrong; i'll go with the majority", and 
strip out the binaries completely.

but it seems to be more about "not letting me 'score' a point" with you,
even though I dont give a toss about that:

So anyway, I will be happy to push through your package once it no longer
violates standards.

Now, are you going to be an active opencsw maintainer, and update any of
your OTHER packages? Or just the one package that you wrote for the 
purpose of trying to undermine me?

I'll point out that you have over 25 packages under your name, and many of
them appear to be out of date. Some are woefully out of date. Some only
somewhat out of date. But some of the ones out of date, are important ones:
 BIND, dhcp, mailscanner
Yet you are spending all your time on a package that we dont actually
"need" at the moment.
