severity 366593 wishlist tags 366593 moreinfo thanks Hi,
I realize you have very keen eyes on bugs but I have not been able to satisfy your requests on bugs most of the times. I thought about why...

This is very ture that most of the option may be eliminated. But your bug report does not include how exactly we should "mention". We are left with second guessing. For example, by adding statement "You may skip most of the options above in the above example" right after the example comand line, the user will not be helped much with this vague statement with "most of". What user may wish is "what options are needed as the minimum explicit option". Your bug report tends to point out some non-critical issues without presenting clear alternative proposal. We maintainers can not guess your thought or do not have time to do the thrrough research on the topic you proposed. Thus your bug reports tend to be left marked wishlist/moreinfo or wishlist/wontfix. That is pity. Please seriously consider to initiate constructive process by proposing explicit communication. This is my thought. (This applies to Bug#366592: on scim/README.Debian.gz too.) By the way, for this bug, since this involves no factual error, I think this is not even "minor" bug but purely wishlist bug. You know it works as stated even though it is many typing strokes. Please mark report accordingly. (Besides, the default option selection tends to change with time thus we maintainers are reluctant to document details of current state of the default explicitly. This is another reason behind we keep this full explicit option here in the document. ) If you can provide good alternative text there after reading this, we will consider changing the manpage.
