Yes, because I'm prepared to put in the work to make sure these things |
| 9 |
get done properly, whereas others will just comment once and then |
| 10 |
ignore the rest of the thread. |

Uh huh, and that's what I've been doing the whole time when I've been |
| 21 |
asking for a patch for PMS, a GLEP etc. |

That's nonsense. I've put in a lot of work on the PMS side for features |
| 34 |
that I understand. If multilib gets beyond what Brian called "a fairly |
| 35 |
opaque list of things", *then* I'm quite happy to help if I'm able. |
| 36 |
Right now, though, there's nowhere near enough that I (or as far as I |
| 37 |
can see, anyone else) can even start to go anywhere with it. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
This isn't going nowhere because no-one wants to help. It's going |
| 40 |
nowhere because what's been presented so far is nowhere near enough |
| 41 |
that anyone *can* help, and requests for a better description of what |
| 42 |
we're supposed to be looking at are being met with complaints that we |
| 43 |
haven't magically done all of the remaining work (which on this one I |
| 44 |
suspect is far more effort than what's been done so far). |
