Then rather than stop this needed band-aid solution, when will we see
your sysinstall commit that implements what you desired in your earlier
message?  The last several (A)uto size bumps were done by myself.  You
haven't been that active in this issue of Sysinstall for a while.

In fact in a way you've dropped the ball WRT Sysinstall.  You said for
years you were having it replaced and that kept interested people from
enhancing it.  We still don't have a replacement, so please don't get in
the way of others enhancing it.

Sounds like you are threatening to put your RE weight behind stopping this
by threatening to pressure re@ to not allow an MFC, when it is simply
your personal opinion.
