13 What happens why a user runs --depclean and has a masked package
14 installed? Oh that's right, it uninstalls. My systems do that
15 automatically, but you are welcome to assume "stupid user didn't read
16 messages" if that is easier.

26 I'm sorry you feel that way. My intent was to work with you to solve
27 the problem in the fastest way possible to avoid users cleaning firmware
28 from their only network card. It was not my intent to demean you in any
29 way. Multiple lines in that mask were an issue, not only that but you
30 said you would mask firmware that was in linux-firmware and/or didn't
31 install properly in /lib/firmware then proceeded to mask firmware that
32 didn't fit either category.
33
34 If you would like to continue pretending you didn't make a mistake that
35 is fine, but please don't pretend I was unreasonably attacking you as I
36 was not unreasonable nor attacking you.
