I understand, just thought the process was a little too much
bureaucratic for the developer. I maintain some packages and I would
not feel violated by the TUs over something like this but maybe that is
just me.

I don't think it would be rudeness but maybe I'm really kinda rude, so
my words don't count for much. :)
