Firewing1 told me to just import everything just as it is. The other 
changes that can be done later.

That, btw, is IMHO the only way forward afaics, as the livna infra is 
more then damaged a bit right now -- thus I'd really want to close livna 
as soon as possible.

Not that it matters much, but I'd prefer if we could keep madwifi for a 
little while longer if possible without to much hassle.

But yeah, if ath5k really does all the major things the users need then 
it might be time to drop madwifi.

Thanks.

I think it might be easier for everyone if I work through that mess; 
especially as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464613 made 
things a bit more complicated in the past few days. :-/

Just wondering: Why do we need merge reviews for those? Wasn't the rule 
we had: All those packages that were in just one of the three repos 
(dribble, freshrpms, livna) were automatically kind of approved without 
further review? But whatever: if you have enhanced packages in your repo 
then it'll be best for all if they get merged.
