--- Comment #21 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at redhat dot com> --- It's annoying, but I suspect others see this as so low priority as not to care. As for just committing my patch, I could make an argument that I ought to be able to do that, but we (the project) make a conscious decision to avoid that kind of behaviour, except for well defined areas. I'd consider this on the borderline and I believe it's particularly important that I adhere to the policies the project has put in place over time.
