There's nothing wrong with back-tracking on decisions if they seem to |
| 11 |
cause problems. For instance, the mozilla herd has done a lot of |
| 12 |
flip-flop on the system/internal sqlite issue, and we explained the |
| 13 |
reasons to our users[1] and they agreed that it was useful, and a good |
| 14 |
decision. |

If it turns out there is no easier way of properly fixing this, we may |
| 17 |
have to split poppler-utils out from poppler. In this regard, I like |
| 18 |
how people like Maciej are spending efforts to solve the problem in |
| 19 |
new ways (PDEPEND, etc) |
