[redirected to chat] No, I'm trying to contribute constructively to a discussion which may affect policy in the future. One party suggested that there was an admitted problem in the current system, but that "we" didn't know how to fix it. I suggested a fix. This makes it easier for anyone who cares enough to (1) write the code, and (2) fight the mugwump politics, to implement a solution to the benefit of everyone who uses the code. Do I care about this particular problem that much? No. My concerns lie elsewhere. I do think it is important the the actual problem be recognized, and that its solvability within acceptable constraints be recognized. Otherwise, people may make bad decisions -- for example, rejecting patches offered by persons for whom this issue is more pressing. Besides, when someone makes a reasonable complaint and is derided unfairly for it, it would be craven and despicable not to co-advocate.
