@Arbitor another unassigned CFJ? (Re: BUS: certifying)

2020-07-05 Thread Falsifian via agora-business

... what? It doesn't matter if it's "antithetical". The rule clearly
says "sole function". This is an ulterior function and therefore
violates the rule.  This interpretation means 'patches' dont't have to
be primarily patches which sets a terrible precedent.

I CFJ: Welcome Package Patch's sole function is not to minimally rectify
a bug.

Arguments: It does rectify a bug (although, again, it introduces a new
one). But it was forced through to prevent a scam. R2626 says "A player
SHALL NOT certify a proposal unless its sole function isto minimally
rectify a bug, error, or ambiguity". This has two functions: rectifying
the bug, and preventing a scam. Sole means only, as in "the only function".


Here's another one that appears to be unassigned.

(If you're just behind and were planning to get to these, let me know 
and I'll stop flagging them.)

I find this finger-pointing to be SHENANIGANS. Because scams make use of
bugs, stopping a scam is not antithetical to the primary purpose of
fixing a bug.

I point my finger at Trigon for Uncertain Certification. This patch has 
a secondary purpose of stopping a scam, which means its sole function is 
not bugfixing. Also, it introduces a bug.
