Dismissal indeed -- my original point having been just made: Rather
than being what people normally think of as "politics", the delay in
changeover from XFree86 to X.org reflected the obstacles to making
changes across a dozen architectures and keep them all of them
production-ready, comprising having to account for exactly the sort of
transitions you cited in related packages, and similar things.
Thank you for supporting my point; I trust to readers to draw the
obvious additional conclusions about your vague handwaves and frequent
resort to name-calling.
> You have a very interesting take on this matter.
And _you_ sir, go around accusing other people of making up software
behaviour on their Debian Testing boxes, and then madly attempt to
change the subject when asked to put money behind your accusation.
OK, noted.
Don't bother to apologise. But the aforementioned cash would nicely
offset the annoyance value of letting you in my house for an hour.
