Apologies for the bombast, Joe. Constructively, I’m just offering development advice as an SME, which you are free to act on or not as the team sees fit. But you’re right that this is a Releng issue, not a development one, that I’m trying to surface in terms of how patch management is happening between HTTPD’s trunk and apreq’s.

Joe, please dial down both the rhetoric and rate of fire. Constructive criticism is always welcome here, we are quite used to doing patch reviews. You've come in with a torrent of not very constructive messages, unsurprisingly that won't get a hugely sympathetic response from others. We all participate here voluntarily. Regards, Joe
