Well I'd gather the same reason the council hasn't denounced infra for |
| 16 |
not implementing what I want them to implement. The council isn't the |
| 17 |
tool to force people to do things. You can't wave a wand and make |
| 18 |
features happen. I can't wave a wand and make infra do my bidding, even |
| 19 |
if it's merited on a technical level. |
