Yeah, I see it. I just figure most people don't know what you are on about.

People mail me bug reports, or ask for help and I help them. How much more supported do you want???

Other things to do: > [...details snipped...] Sure, I have better things to do than check every day if somebody has changed the tty sub-system. Every now and again I have a poke around and see what has changed. Every once in a while I will issue a driver update that rolls new stuff in... Seems like a reasonable approach to me... If someone needs an urgent update I can do that. Rarely happens though.
