It is not a waste of time, because people have to learn, adjust, comprehend and accept. b. The original discussion was on the merits/demerits of the change in the context of FreeBSD build. This discussion was about the impact on unforseen new evidence. The people involved have the right to fit the two realities into a coherent picture. c. The name and location of various pieces of tcl/tk in FreeBSD is a minor discovery in resolving this issue. d. No one has disputed the wisdom of the original reason for the change. No one challenged it either. People simply wanted to know what happened. e. If there is any problem here, it evolves around either making the change in such a manner that established packages, writen and maintained by several people, all broke due to lack of documented migration path. If failure at all (notice the IF), it is of no one of the people involved in this issue, but of someone who is very noisy all of a sudden to squash the discussion. > * I belive the issue is clear, and the course of action identified. > Rather > * than shutting us up, maybe you suggest how we avoid the breakage on > the > * next package?
