The problem with that is that it removes all motivation to ever port the |
| 12 |
packages. They'll just stay that way forever, where forever means "until |
| 13 |
I threaten to remove that from the virtual," in which case we'll be in |
| 14 |
the same scenario we are now. Why? Because people have better things to |
| 15 |
do than fix stuff that isn't broken. |
