It's a pain to find out who requested it.

It's a pain to ensure that it's actually a verbatim sync, and that no

It's generally just a pain.

I'm very familiar with the contents of a .changes file, thank you.

Please note that I took pains (having painfully worked out who was
responsible) to perform a mahara sync in your name rather than merely
rejecting your syncpackage upload.  You got what you wanted, although it
was more work on my end.
