You might argue, yes. You could, alternatively, stop talking about it, and provide Tollef with patches instead.

If you're going to debate with the d-i project lead, at least have the courtesy to check out the sources from CVS and try some installs and so forth first so you have _some_ clue what you're talking about, rather than trying to reduce everything to abstracts and platonic ideals.
