No.  Threads like this are completely wasting the time of people who use
it for its chartered purposes.  The feedback process is centered on the
proper use of send-pr.

Truth is, this thread is a pulverised mass of dead horse flesh that has
been beat for years by people expecting a free operating system to
conform to some mental model they have formed in absence of what has
actually been communicated by the project.

Cripes people, the CVS repository is available for people to be able to
slide back and forth in time as necessary.  It only requires a tiny bit
of competence.  For fair effort on your part you also gain a fair amount
of liberty along with a system that has literally made computing history
in terms of stability.  On top of that, it's free.

Can this stupid thread please die now?
