I think it would be _great_ if we could move files directly into
the archive instead of to incoming. The installer program would
log everything, and the ftpmasters could just oversee the logs
instead of doing it themselves.
New packages stay for too long in incoming.
I currently never get kernels frm the stanadrd Debian place
because they are obsolete (almost) by the time they get
installed.
