7 In other words: After I disproved all your wrong arguments,
8 you try repeatedly to ignore my technical points and instead
9 prefer to attack me personally of not understanding what I am saying.
10 Fortunately, this is a developer's mailing list which will
11 not get fooled by your strategy.

17 It seems by "the rest of use" you mean me:
18 That's why I pointed out repeatedly *what* is broken
19 and why (namely the concept of having orphaned packages,
20 and I wlil not repeat the example).

25 You seem to be using it this way: That's what you call
26 dynamic deps broken but static not, although both face
27 the same problems.

31 Exactly. So instead of writing such pointless personal attacks,
32 you should give technical arguments.
