You ignore my pointer to the actual engineering and logic in this area
and prefer to expand upon the conjecture.  I cannot help in that area
and am unwilling to have you reorder my TODO list to suit your
pleasure.

Instead I look forward to your diff fixing this bug in softdeps.
Please send that diff to the list and not me directly, as I find your
submissions uninteresting.
