Well, every time I posted a bug *and* a fix, the fix was rejected because it didn't fit in the grand scheme of how the build system owners wanted things to evolve.

Given that this grand scheme isn't documented anywhere that I was aware of (indeed, from what I could tell, they were making it up as they went along), and any patches I continued to submit would continue to be rejected for reasons that I couldn't even guess in advance, I eventually stopped investing the effort.

Clearly they, and only they, understood how they wanted it to be fixed, and anything I tried to do would be clueless in their opinion.

What's the definition of insanity?  When you keep repeating the same action, but expecting a different outcome?

I'm not that crazy.  Yet.
