I expect there is 0 blame meant for William. |

Is it William that Lennart dished some blame in the direction of. I |
| 11 |
completely disagree. It's not the job of every distro to look for all |
| 12 |
build flags to fix some software's defaults because other software has |
| 13 |
some small issues. That's simply ludicrous and my best guess is it |
| 14 |
being a feeble attempt at reasoning an excuse. At the very least and |
| 15 |
like in many release notes, it should have been made clear that distros |
| 16 |
may wish to consider using that flag to keep the current behaviour |
| 17 |
whether any reason to do was understood or not. The thought strikes me |
| 18 |
now that in the reverse case their likely wouldn't be any justification |
| 19 |
for having a build flag? |

Debian having to patch KDE to use /etc for configs is simply wrong too. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
You are right though, I don't suppose it helps much airing any of it |
| 24 |
here. |
