I object to this statement. I filed bugs in the past so each piece of software can evaluate if it needs/wants changes. If a change is wanted/warranted/useful at all is in the hands of the software authors. I'd expect that the ecosystem aligns on something that each software of a given class (f.e. "X terminal emulators") should do, but I really did not say "all X terminal emulators MUST integrate with wtmpdb". Chris
