That would be most interesting.

Obviously.  However there comes a time for burying old grudges.

I have.  But why make such a difference?  This is the real world.  You might
meet all these people in person some day.  In my eyes the same rules should
apply.  Just because we are relatively anonymous here does not mean we must
fight without gloves.

There is a similar text in the head of the Linux section:

  Binary packages of MPlayer are available from several sources. However,
  none of these packages are supported. Report problems to the authors,
  not to us.

That's why I removed it from everywhere else, just in order not to repeat
something said a few lines before.

BTW I wanted to add a line about binary packages to bugreports.html.  I
believe this should be enough.
