You simply replied, and therefore took ownership from QA point of view. I can't help it you do that whilst on the phone. In fact, this is email, so being on the phone is not a good reason to be vague and avoid answering questions in the first place. [snip issues] Thanks, much appreciated. I'm completely convinced now. I'm referring back to my earlier suggestion to include such list or the type of issues found when a drastic commit like the one we discuss is done under the QA flag. It's good to know that the QA issue complaint was valid, and improvements can be made. A final suggestion is to talk to the committer before taking such drastic actions, in a situation where our users aren't endangered. As this one is, in my opinion. There is more problematic stuff in the tree, but teach a man to fish ... next time the problems may be avoided. Thanks, Fabian -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
