Aha. This makes MUCH more sense now. Somehow I thought you
reassigned just the original bugreport to busybox.

Without the above explanation ("cloned"), it looked to me
like completely wrong thing to do from your side, and
indeed, I become very upset seeing a reassign again without
explanations/comments (these were somehow received later,
after I already sent the "hot" email out). That's exactly
what I talked about on the initial reassignment -- lack of
any comments. Now when you explained and I actually looked
at the bug history and noticed the clone operation (#660297),
things become real again.
And no, I can't get an ice cream. I've a flu currently with
body temperature being 38.6°C, so I guess an ice cream may do
more harm than good.
And in this context, I can buy the argument about busybox not
implementing switch_root functionality from util-linux.
Thank you for explaining things, and I'm sorry for being
upset for nothing.
