A decision to remove it also problematic. It's no wonder several
complex conversations pertaining to this very topic have been started
and debated extensively in other GNU fora.
Now, I can't imagine whatever gave you the idea that now would be a good
time to add to the already boiling cauldron, so to speak, all of the
hurt feelings from the earlier discussion surrounding this patch.
It really isn't. There is no possibility of a sane debate about it at
this moment. Sorry, I really think it should wait a little longer. I
acknowledge that there probably won't ever be a *good* time to discuss
this patch, because it does touch a number of inflammatory issues, but
that doesn't justify bringing it up at what is likely the worst possible
time.
