Blackmailing ... (was: Zero-tolerance educational methods for promoting questionable policies???)

*Sigh*, which brings us back to where we were at the beginning.

You are breaking things for setting up requirements to fix them
again. That's exactly what the Subject is about, you try to enforce
your decisions upon others by brute force.

And why does Matthias have to get involved into this cat fight? He is
doing very well ignoring this thread I believe, which should be
probably what we should be doing also. You either analyse and
accept the issues with the versioning you propose yourself or not.

So let me wear my Anti-Terrorism suit and say "Blackmailing won't get
you further".

For what it is worth I am very open to changing the strings of kmdl to
kernel-module, as you already know:

But until now you were bundling it with the flawed versioning you use,
which is technically not acceptable.

So to make it even simpler, I [*] will "adhear" to a common naming of
kernel-modules independent of any of your actions, and I discard any
blackmailing by principle.

At any rate, please stop breaking repository compatibility
_unconditionally_. Get back to the community.

[*] I will delegate the decision to atrpms-devel, atrpms is not "Axel"
anymore.
