I've never argued that.  I'm just saying it's common courtesy for you
to talk to the maintainer first.

I can't parse that at all.

 * In any case we have a possibility to discuss this issue with maintainers
 * _before_ deletion occurse if you explain your point of view as answer on
 * my request instead of simple ignoring it.

My point of view, as I stated over and over before, is that you have
to talk to maintainers before committing controversial changes.

Since you seem to have a rather narrow sense of common courtesy, and
many people have complained in the past, let me state a clear rule for
you.

  You "ache" always have to get the permission of the maintainer
  before you commit to a port maintained by anyone else.  There are to
  be no exceptions.

If you have a dispute with the maintainer, *then* come to me.
Otherwise, please leave it up to the maintainer.

Is that clear enough?

Thank you for your cooperation.

Satoshi
