I disagree a bit there, but then people are free to do what they like,

in shady terms :)
It's mostly intended for servers where access is restricted and that
wouldn't happen normally.

I like to test new packages a bit, and getting the help just doesn't
feel like a proper test, hence my reluctance ;)
