Thank you very much for your answer. It helps to understand the current situation. (There was no way to tell if discussions happened somewhere else than here, and/or if there were more details to how and when people are affected, how frequent, etc. And some maintainers are quite lazy with closing fixed bugs wven if they are completely fixed) At least for me, this answer is all I asked for, and more. And I'll try to run some tests in the direction you mentioned.
