All I am saying is:
Either the DPL's word on the issue is final or not.
If it's final, there shouldn't be any more discussion unless it is in the
form of a GR.
If it's still up for discussion, then Sven is right to continue advocating
for his position. If it's not, then apparently Sven doesn't understand
that, and he should be made to understand.
