	I say we remove it, the author's request of reviewing every patch  
that is applied to his software and that the distributed version is  
no longer than 28 days old (qualms that were both raised by FreeBSD  
ports maintainers) are just not sustainable without placing  
considerable stress on our maintainers and the project as a whole...  
and this whole thing about open source is supposed to be about  
volunteering and cooperating, not *demanding*.

	Not just my thoughts, but actually my vote as PortMgr.

	Regards,...
