I didn't suggest anything, I barely proposed a way for everyone
needing to take a look to reproduce the issue I was having. You
know, like a bug reporter is supposed to do: “here's exactly how
I encountered the bug, and how you can reproduce it”.

If I formulated my previous mail properly, I think that this was my
conclusion.

Again, if I properly wrote what I had in mind, I didn't say you
weren't correct with those Conflicts. I challenged your justification.

Anyway, we share the same conclusions AFAICT.
