Or ignoring it because it's not worth the heartache. Or they feel it to |
| 22 |
be more likely that their input will be rejected by devs who just don't |
| 23 |
feel like working on it, but also don't want their babies touched by |
| 24 |
foreign hands. See Bug #69343 and everything marked as a dupe against it |
| 25 |
for a fine example of that mentality. |
