Think about it for a while from any perspective but a hurd hacker's for
heavens sake. Think about what should get the highest priority right now,
a hurd release in a few years or an i386 release in a few weeks. Think
about the usual effects of uploads to fix hurd specific bugs (which is to
say: breakage everywhere else). Think about how much time I can possibly
devote to your whims about the BTS considering the various other things
I can devote my time too. Think about whether anyone else at all can
or will do anything about them. Think about the sort of ratio of effort
that's reasonable to put into doing things versus justifying why they're
done this way. Think about whether there's any real practical benefit
to insisting on someone else doing things the way you want, rather than
you just hacking around the problem yourself and getting stuff done.
_Think about things_ godammit.
