  Someone will, I'm sure.

  "Completely untrustworthy" seems a bit strong.  If you don't trust us 
simply because of a lack of SRPMs, you're putting your trust in the wrong 
place.

  As Dennis stated, Spot is in the process of moving about a thousand 
miles.  All of his machines, including the machine that built the kernel 
RPM, are therefore offline, and will be until they reach their destination 
and are unpacked and set up.  I'm certain he'll be more than happy to 
fulfill your request once he gets at least partially done with his major 
undertaking.
