So if you've been following the RSS feed on the archive, there have been a lot of updates this week. PHP, mysql, dcc, etc. A lot of the time I'm updating previously authored packages, sometimes its a backport from something new, like Fedora 8. Other times I'm reviving some unmaintained thread from someone else. To illustrate my point, this caught my eye from the changelog on the qmhandle package today:

> 1.0.0-1mdk
- update to 1.0.0
- changed group
If this doesn't illustrate the point about re-use (Ahem... CPANEL!?) I don't know what does. I do not know you Mr. Danen, or Mr. Eriksson, but your code lives on.
