+I kind of disagree with you here on 2 points:
+ - I estimate(wild guess) that if there is even 4hours between release and 
+these packages appearing, that you're already gonna have at least one person 
+complaining about it
+ - If you say, after release is fine; then it'll likely take more than a week 
+after release to have those packages on the mirrors, because at that point 
+people will just want to "fix" the BS the correct way...
+
+of course this is also my personal opinion...
+
+In essence if the packages would find their way on updates before mageia1 is 
+released, it'll be more or less the same... It's not like these tainted 
+packages are going to be on release media...

+If by "helping" you mean constantly asking and bugging everyone about it, 
+then: "my pleasure". :-P However, i'm not on sysadm team and I've been told to 
+"not do too many things at the same time"...
