It was an iceberg. I thought I'd have enough free time to complete it.

Hmm. It fixed a bug that does not manifest on an architecture that
has no <flavor>'s.

_My_ attitude is one of "blame"? Hmm. Frustration, yes. Call it
what you will. I don't think I owe anyone an apology. If you

Nobody died or went hungry or homeless over it. Big deal.
