Thanks for patch and the detailed explanation. I commited it (r69139)
Implementation to servers? Unknown
Requests for implementation? Ignored
Any issues with means of implementation? Not known, not visible
Systematic route to implementation? Seemingly not followed, and forgotten
It is so incredibly frustrating to have to get continually ask for the
simple fix to be put in place for a whole set of sister sites. It is
so incredibly humiliating to almost to get down and beg that some
consideration be given to some of the smaller sites.
The utter silence that pervades these matters has moved from disregard
and moving into disgraceful. That there is no communication or
ability to even get an understanding of what can be expected is now
well past disappointing and into unprofessional.
I understand that there is a big picture to consider, however, there
is the matter of consideration, courtesy and respect, and these very
sadly seem to be missing. The situation seems to be going from
neglect and moving towards something approaching culpability by the
management system.
If it is the noisy squeaky and disruptive that is the means to get
something implemented, we can go there, however, surely, surely,
surely, what we want is the polite and considerate.
