Um, you really want me to mask my package 9 months in advance because it |
| 43 |
blocks some random tracker that I have no idea when will become relevant? |

The onus of masking the package is on the person that institutes the |
| 48 |
deadline. Stop being surprised that people don't think your personal pet |
| 49 |
project is as important as you do. |
