| That is a single point of control, not a single point of failure.
when the control fails to function properly, the development of system
fails to progress. By implication, the "point of control" is a "point
of failure".

the availability of the newer version wwas delayed, and nobody else
could do it, because nobody else had the source.

thanks God, nobody blames you for that. But, it did happen.
As you mention build-improvements; let me point out that I would very
much like to see more people involved, capable of making changes to
the "right" directions so that I do not become a single point of failure.
So, in case you would be under the impression I would like a single
maintainership on build-improvements and question that of gold and
silver, be assure it is not the case. I've repeated it enough.
And I hope we've gotten build-improvements out of the way.

"... gained us acceess to Manuel's work", in which form?
