There's a distinction between a) enabling PSR to actively work on fixing issues related to it, and b) enabling PSR because some forum said you should and then filing issues here because it doesn't work out for you. We've disabled PSR by default because there have been so many issues with it, and we can't handle the influx of bugs. We keep fixing stuff in the background, but at the same time we close PSR bugs as not supported. For example, in the case of this bug, it took until <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=101111#c44">comment #44</a> to realize this is a PSR related bug. You also insisted on merging what would have been the completely wrong patch, and would have made debugging future PSR problems even harder. My gut feeling in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=101111#c21">comment #21</a> was spot on. So there'll be a happy ending to this bug, the driver will get a bit better now, and we're a bit closer to enabling PSR, thank you for that. But perhaps you'll see that there's a reason we generally close what we think are category b) bugs as not supported.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
