I'm sure everybody is tired of reading these threads over and over. |
| 13 |
Simply saying that you answered these questions doesn't mean that |
| 14 |
people will be satisfied with your answers. |

You probably aren't being driven up the wall by these 50-reply threads |
| 19 |
because only one dev has a problem with the approach that has been |
| 20 |
taken in the past. |

Well, not if you don't advertise the tooling, and the tools don't |
| 25 |
output maintainer info so that maintainers can quickly determine if |
| 26 |
they're impacted. |

Nobody has complained about timelines as far as I'm aware. |

I'm not aware of ANYBODY who has complained about action being taken |
| 35 |
after a bug was assigned to them. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Yes, some people ignore bugs. They don't get much sympathy. If you |
| 38 |
file a bug and somebody ignores it for months, and then you depclean |
| 39 |
their package, nobody is going to take their side. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The complaints you are getting are from devs who find out about a |
| 42 |
problem with their package for the first time from a package mask, |
| 43 |
perhaps due to a dependency/etc. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
In any case, it sounds like we're now filing bugs, so hopefully we'll |
| 46 |
see fewer problems like this the next time around. Really, if you're |
| 47 |
filing bugs I'd suggest leading with that as it will get you a LOT |
| 48 |
more support than just pointing out the previous threads that nobody |
| 49 |
seems to think were resolved but you. |
