I do appreciate it but I'm not sure if this is something specific |
56 |
enough to be mentioned in 'major changes'. I'll see how other things |
57 |
go and we'll see then. However, if you have something more specific |
58 |
like 'we added these super useful packages' or stuff like that, I think |
59 |
it would be more interesting PR-wise. |
