Why are you directing this at me? Please don't cc me off-list. Keep list |
| 7 |
discussion to the list. (That's an old one.) |

As for "extremes" I think it a dubious argument, much like many of your |
| 10 |
"if only we define X like Y, even though we've all been discussing X" at |
| 11 |
the end of a long chain of usually futile "discussion". It's evidently |
| 12 |
meant for a few packages which would break, to avoid obvious breakage, |
| 13 |
and not as a blanket mechanism. That would run counter to the whole |
| 14 |
spirit of "you break it, you pick up the pieces." IF there is a need to |
| 15 |
do it, that's how you can do it. |

If not, it's got nothing to do with me anyhow, since I'm not the one |
| 18 |
calling for it, nor raising the topic. |

Oh, and I realise you have difficulty configuring your email client[1]: |
| 21 |
it's still rude of you to constantly quote people's email addresses |
| 22 |
inline, imo. Long, tedious "justifications" notwithstanding. |
| 23 |
Especially when it turns out you can't even configure your client, |
| 24 |
and it might reasonably be surmised you have spouted "justification" |
| 25 |
to cover ignorance. I'm perfectly happy to take the time to edit my |
| 26 |
responses, in answer to your last justification for this behaviour. |
