Are you -deliberately- misunderstanding me, or do you just enjoy
putting words in my mouth?
I -never said- I was expecting someone to promise to commit a patch,
sight seen or sight unseen. I -asked-, "If such a patch -did- exist,
would be be -impossible- to commit it because it was believed that the
whole problem the patch was trying to solve should not be solved?"
If you don't understand the difference between these two statements,
I suggest you go back to Logic 101 and relearn the difference between
inverse, converse, and contrapositive.
Furthermore, I never said "refuse". I asked, "Is it worth my time to
go set up all the test infrastructure to do this, or anyone else's
time to try writing a patch?" Isaac's answer last night seemed to say
"No." His answer today seems to say, "Maybe, but only if you satisfy
apparently-contradictory requirements"---I'll work that out in a
separate message to him.
