Please take the ad hominen somewhere else. The fact that you disagree with my opinion doesn't make it invalid.
You aren't building and testing binNMUs and uploading a source with a changelog entry of "just a rebuild because of XYZ" is essentially nodifferent than a binNMU for all architectures. Obviously you would onlydo that instead of a binNMU when the package isn't binNMUable.
"Nonsense".It's quite different in terms of the necessary investment in time and technical resources for whoever's performing the source upload. It's also arguably different from a social perspective.
However, I've already said all of this, in another mail in this thread, sent after the one you've replied to but well before your reply. I'm not going to continue re-hashing the same discussion in different subthreads.
