Granted. > Considering absence of this behavior a bug is fine if you want a > million PR's, a lot of discouraged port maintainers While the PR system is imperfect, it's the best mechanism for getting bugs fixed that we have. Also, recently the pace of ports PR commits has picked up; if you look at the PR statistics page you'll see this confirmed. Plus, I don't understand why the above will discourage port maintainers. A final note: postings like this don't really create progress. Prototyped code submitted via a PR creates progress, or bugfixes submitted via a PR create progress, or even bug reports submitted via a PR create progress. Even if you write this up as a "desired feature" and submit that as a PR, that would help move things forward. But just saying "it's broke" without any further action really _does_ frustrate folks doing the work. mcl
