If Sergej who currently maintains more than 40% of the repo on his own read the comments on his packages, i imagine he would spend his life reading comments. See for example the link with brain0's comment. "Reported" as a comment on June 1st, fixed: never reported in the bug tracker on the 16th. fixed on the 19th. And from personal experience i can tell you that he fixes ASAP all the bugs reported to him directly by email. Anyway my suggestion was about unsupported. I thought (but maybe i was mistaking) that you guys (TUs) had already decided to disable comments on community already the last time this was brought up. -- Greg
