Is XETRA a particularly important or common source for this data?
XETRA is the main stock exchange in Germany, so it is certainly an important source, especially for European users. But there are other equally important sources (though they will not provide an equivalent information, because they will typically concern other stocks or other stock exchanges). Whether this qualifies for severity important is not obvious, which is why I set the normal severity. Even for someone who has all their trades on XETRA, the package does not become completely useless, because it still returns the right quotes, though with a wrong date (the latter is nevertheless quite annoying, especially when used from GnuCash, which is probably the most common use case of this package). -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.debian.org
