Er, me, of course.    :)

Same here.  Hurry home, Bruce.

Back to serious.  Yes, there is a problem, and I second the vote for
maddog's sentient take on it.  I.e., we might read Jean-Claude Wippler's
concerns as an affirmation of the need to make LSB real.  (It's hard
to tell through the whining -- is there a subtext of "I want starpacks
INSTEAD of LSB"?  That would be very Unix-wars like itself, in a
self-referential way.)
