Then explain people that doing this is not the way. I would suspect that |
| 14 |
people think that this is the actual solution. It's also not really like |
| 15 |
people would do this to hide the fact that they have hidden a global rm -rf |
| 16 |
somewhere around.And is it really a quality issue? In all cases? There must |
| 17 |
be cases where the problem is package + arch + useflag specific, and this |
| 18 |
solution "solves" it. |

What I mean with deliberate, is circumventing when knowing it is wrong. If |
| 21 |
people know it's wrong, and still do it, they are clearly malvolent. |
