Hi Kurt,

Don't worry: I don't want to pressure anyone into doing anything. :)

But I would like to know how much functionality a port maintainer can 
add to a package before it is considered too much.
At some point the port will no longer represent the upstream package, 
and I'd really like to know where this limit is.

Rob
