You're right IMO to express your disagreement with that statement. My understanding of that message was that Jakub Wilk's “nothing serious” was very sarcastic, and he actually meant us to know he thinks this level of privacy violation is quite serious. But that may be wrong, or if correct it may not be obvious, so it's worth pointing out: > Are there any other ideas? Am I the only one who thinks this is a big > deal? I think the behaviour of Iceweasel in Debian, described by Jakub Wilk above, is a big deal, yes. -- \ “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little | `\ temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” | _o__) —Benjamin Franklin, 1775-02-17 | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
