I thought the "current situation" was obvious. From your statement of
blind ignorance, I guess not. To clarify what I meant:
1) No release of glibc, not even a point release, in over a year.
2) A package maintainer who thinks only "distribution makers" and
not "random people" should compile his code.

The current "stable" release does not even compile.
And although "release often" is not a rule, it is one indication of a
job being done properly.

Read the thread yourself. My reply was to Ulrich's "random people"
comment, not to the original poster. I am speaking as a "random
person".
