As ashes has repeatedly stated, and I emphatically agree with, we need
to audit the base LFS code, and decide whether or not to change packages
or patch them. Before we can do that effectively, someone who is more
intimately knowledgable with rats, bfbtester, etc, needs to prepare a
short doc for testing packages so that we can spread out the task among
many people and produce valid, consistent results.

I am currently writing text for the layout I presented.

The IRS has become morally corrupted by the enormous power which we in
Congress have unwisely entrusted to it. Too often it acts like a Gestapo
preying upon defenseless citizens.
