Russell, calm down please.

Maybe it'd be better to just email the people with broken stuff, then
wait ... if they don't reply in a week (two weeks?) then remove their
stuff. And make that a policy.

What do you think ?

Who do I email?  Which entries are causing problems?  That's the whole
bloody point.

Isn't the email in your database? You can't just script that ?

There's just far too much of it.  The amount of effort required to sort
through this file each time it needs to be updated has become *excessive*.
The amount of effort required to go through the file and identify which
entries are broken is *excessive*.  The amount of effort required to
find who to email is *excessive*.

Why not write a script for that ?

I don't have a few days to do that - and I'm not going to repeat it
every time the file needs to be updated anymore.

So either I drop the change and we go back to having gplugd broken, or
we keep the change and have the Eureka stuff broken.  Anything else is
far too much hastle.

Given that the gplugd folk have sorted out their problems, and its the
Eureka stuff which doesn't conform, I'd rather that Eureka was broken
rather than gplugd.

Well then can't you split the change in two to avoid breaking both? We don't 
want to introduce breakage, do we.
