If I could stick my $0.02 in?


A lot of these disagreements about "bug or wishlist" are really disagreements about whose perspective to adopt.

From the maintainer's perspective, it's a bug if the program
disagrees with RFCs or it's documentation.
From the user's perspective, it's a bug if the program misbehaves
when it violates reasonable expectations.
These two things can be rather different.

This is not to say that one point of view or the other is always
right, of course...

Tom, could you please downgrade this bug report to ``wishlist''?


I'm not convinced it is wishlist,


You're the maintainer, so it's up to you.

(My argument is that normal and important imply it's a bug in Polipo.
 I see this as a feature request, as the users are requesting that
 polipo should implement the feature of working around a server bug.
 Feature requests, AFAIK, are wishlist bugs.)
