that was quick - now it's your turn

Phil Blundell fixed xtrans already, after like half an hour of looking at it; fresh eyes solved the problem rather than stubborn persistence. Word up, Phil.

That's how easy it is to fix incredibly annoying stuff that affects everyone, seriously. We've had Phil bust up xtrans and two others start to work on Xorg's loader (and thanks to Donnie for a massively helpful Gentoo bug report on weak symbols), but there doesn't seem to have been much other progress.

There is not a flood of volunteers now. You will not get caught up amongst all the other people falling over themselves to get involved in fd.o. So, come get involved, and I'll buy you beer some day. I think I owe Phil supplies enough until he passes out, for one.
