Too late for some people.

You say that so often, but I'm having trouble coming up with instances in
which you have shown how, precisely, the arguments raised are half-baked.
There's no shortage of instances of you saying that arguments are bogus (or
worse), but reasoned rebuttals aren't exactly universal.

Perhaps you could enlighten us with your obvious wisdom and show us how our

You know, showing benevolence to the little people and all that.

Bullshit. No debian-legal regular (AFAIK) has power to remove stuff from
the archive, so we're down to making a summary and petitioning ftpmasters
with that. If our arguments are thoroughly unconvincing, then the summary
will be laughed at and discarded.
