And thank YOU (personally, and Mdk corporate, and the "you" that
includes all the contributors and cookerites like me, all three).

.. It's a bit frustrating right now, but at least part of that is because
the amd64 version isn't out yet and packages are somewhat limited -- not
all have been ported and some aren't easily compiled from src.rpm yet. 
I'm looking forward to having full cooker/contribs/plf urpmi support
without having to worry about stuff being missing that I know is available
in i586, and all that.
