Thank you, that is a very nice thing to say. I will strive to do better in the future. I was about to write down a report about this multi year endover of first merging traceroute6(8) into traceroute(8) and then ping6(8) into ping(8). How things got improved by the merges, bugs found and future possibilities. But I will not get provoked into doing this. People who are interested are free to read the code and the commit history, it's all there. So congratulations, you sir are responsible for a net negative contribution.
