So, I have cycles to devote to release management processes, since that's, you 
know, my day job.  I am in some sense ultimately trusted.  I would really 
like to see 7.1 in place on a machine named something.x.org when it releases.  
I live like 30 minutes from the x.org machines and can physically go down and 
kick them when/if they break.

So why do I not have the ability to log into those machines at all, let alone 
root?  Why is it almost two weeks after the start of this thread, with pretty 
much unanimous agreement that the current situation with the x.org machines 
is broken, with no solution, or even motion?  Who needs the cluebat here?
