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. Philip Guenther
