Hi Steve,Is it possible to thank Jude for his work without packing him into a cannon and
firing him at Debian?

Besides, if the game is to weaponize software development I suspect you
already know who the winner will be.  (Hint: it doesn't start or end with a "d").

Thanks,
Jonathan

A lot of people who casually damage features they'd like to go away (eg,
"X won't work anymore unless you're running systemd --- to bad, ain't
it? But that's good for 'security' and if you really don't want the
sensible defaults, here's what you can do ...") can easily cause a lot
of work without needing much talent for that (unless that's supposed to
refer to the PR talent necessary to convince the unaffected majority
that all is well and - surely never - will they end up being
inconvenienced themselves[*]).

[*] IMHO, that's remarkably illogical: If XXX is prepared to do YYY to
some people, he'll eventually do it to all people given enough time.
