Seriously? In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1077764#368
you say that you could rule on the general statement rather than a
specific implementation, then I answer "I'd prefer that if it was
possible", and this is how you respond? I've asked multiple times
exactly what it is that you need in order to make a decision, and all
I get in response are first cryptic and contradicting statements, and
then this abrupt dismissal. This seriously feels like something out of
Kafka novel.
