Good to hear :-)

In your shell init files, do this:

MAKEFLAGS="-j5"
export MAKEFLAGS

In most cases, allowing access to the pending/ area would not offer
a significant number of new applications - it's mostly just version 
updates
and such usually.  Even so, the answer is an unequivocal NO.  We have
no plans of making that area available to users.  While *you* may very
well be fully capable of understanding the distinction, prior experience
tells me that it's only a matter of time before someone would fail to do
so, and then it would twisted around to reflect badly upon us.
