Some decision like: no. yes. we can try. we won't try... or at least 
constructive discussion without blames.

No idea how your math works but don't lie.

We (I and glen) have checked most packages ourself in FEW DAYS.

cvs log mysql-4.1-ac-check.txt tells truth:
revision 1.1
date: 2005/01/07 21:20:26;  author: arekm;  state: Exp;
- mysql 4.1 for ac project :)

last entry:
revision 1.25
date: 2005/01/10 08:41:50;  author: glen;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
- progress update

Began on 2005/01/07 and ended somewhere near 2005/01/10.
The idea was born earlier but the work began on 07 jan.

1207 is SO wrong number. First it shows all subackages while there are much 
less src.rpm packages.

There is 115 BuildRequires: freetype-devel in cvs (and not all packages are on 
ftp) so this isn't the correct number either.

It's hidden because our xpdf doesn't use freetype by default and kde 3.3 kpdf 
is just kind of wrapper for xpdf.
