selinux doesn't work yet, due to coreutils patches not working. Breaking
selinux is thus no big deal.

I don't think it's important to mention your name since the important part
was the discussion around it.

The irony here is that this sounds quite similar to the proposal to
prevent new developers from touching important spells, except this would
be important PR language. It normally goes through a review process
where a bunch of people look at it before it gets published to the front
page. If you want to be a part of it, #sourcemage-admin on irc is the
normal place for this kind of review discussion. Normally I grammar check
all the articles, but this weekend I missed it. I was surprised by how
dense the references were about this discussion: I was even quoted,
though I'm not sure why my quote was picked out of the bunch (and yet
they didn't even use my full name).

So, for the lesson is to involve oneself if you want it to turn out the
way you want it to turn out.
