You'll get no disagreement from me on that. But a growing number of upstreams disagree, so those upstreams are likely to be actively opposed to your recommendation to patches which remove non-source files from the VCS repository. How to resolve that? I don't know. But it will entail a change of workflow, not merely patches submitted. -- \ “[It's] best to confuse only one issue at a time.” —Brian W. | `\ Kernighan, Dennis M.
