I think you wrote it backwards: what I did was to revert the commit that the person who put it in agreed shouldn't have been made at that point, so that the debate about whether or not to install the patch could be carried out without the fait accompli. To my surprise, it stopped. Then, a year or so later, when most of the GNU policies that incided on that matter had already been discussed and approved, and they suggested (at least to me) that the conclusion was likely that the patch was in line with them, some other situation came up that reminded people of the patch, it was discussed under the heat of the unrelated situation (which I also found inappropriate), but it got applied AFAICT in accordance with GNU and GLIBC policies. > maintainers said explicitly you shouldn’t do it. I do not see nor recall any such responses or reactions to my offer to revert the patch in case the installer wouldn't do it, except the installer saying they wouldn't do the reversal. Eventually I did it. After the fact, some said I shouldn't have done it. That's my recollection of the events. -- Alexandre Oliva, happy hacker https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo/ Free Software Activist GNU Toolchain Engineer Vim, Vi, Voltei pro Emacs -- GNUlius Caesar
