From my point of view, "overlooked" is less of a problem than
"rejected". And some of the stuff which gets added appears to have been
tested by no one.
For example, I offered revised VMS builders which (among other
things):
Obviated the annoying copying of C source files into the "test"
directory (symlinks being unsupported on many VMS systems and/or file
systems).
Added an "SSL_" prefix to the object library names so that a
victim might have some chance of identifying the things amid the clutter
in SYS$SHARE:
A bunch of other stuff which I've forgotten.
I also tried building the stuff before I submitted my suggestions.
Some of these proposed changes involve functional changes which would
affect the victims (object library and shared image file name changes,
for example), so deserve some discussion. I see very little such
discussion here. Suggestions get submitted. Some get adopted. Some
get rejected. I find out what happened when I see the next "betaN" kit.
It's not very satisfying, and I've largely stopped caring. (This may or
may not be seen as much of a loss.)
