I encounter many situations in my archtesting where I wonder what |
| 12 |
other people think. I'm a cynic, but even I won't assume people |
| 13 |
are mindless idiots. So apparently there is a cognitive |
| 14 |
dissonance. I enumerated the options as I see them because I |
| 15 |
wanted to make sure that I had as complete a picture as was |
| 16 |
feasible. The question I posed was meant to elicit other |
| 17 |
solutions that I may have overlooked. |

...which still doesn't answer what the specific arch maintainer |
| 27 |
should do. Do nothing with the tree and just comment on the |
| 28 |
breakage? Just go with her own arch? Ignore the bug? |

I am already spending too much time guessing what the maintainers |
| 32 |
wanted, meant to do and what their preferences are. After being |
| 33 |
an AT for so long, I /mostly/ get it right, but I still waste |
| 34 |
time on occasion. |

I spent the last two weeks reducing the amount of STABLEREQ and |
| 37 |
KEYWORDREQ bugs for Alpha to a manageable size. And that was only |
| 38 |
possible since I had two weeks of vacation. I've been burning a |
| 39 |
lot of time and energy on pointless things. |

|
| 41 |
So maybe I am a bit more zealous about not leaving stuff like |
| 42 |
this to "common sense", which seems to very often result in "do |
| 43 |
whatever the fuck you want." |
