Your concern is valid, but thankfully things are going well so far.

Thanks for that.

I'll keep that in mind.

Sometimes things are a big messed up, but trying to schedulle things
based on rules isn't working well lately, I'm afraid.

Still, you are right that things should be made more clear in some
situations like those you mentioned have become.

If at some point you would like to become less of a lurker and more
active in suggesting changes, and do some work yourself that would be
very appreciated.  Xiph.Org likes all the help it can get.
