+Paul Morgan I think what you (and others) seem to miss is that the systemd
people made the "debug" option that we introduced not just do something - but
do something useless that actively broke other peoples use of that option.

It doesn't matter who "owns" it, the fact is, they broke it.

Ok, fine. Bugs happen, and that's not what makes people upset.

What makes me (and others) upset is that when the bug is reported, with
explanations and a suggestion for how to fix it, Kay just closed the
bug-report, claiming it wasn't a bug.

Seriously? You want to debug kernel stuff, using the kernel command line
command "debug" that makes the kernel more verbose, and now the systemd people
say "sorry, we stole your thing and made it useless, and it's not a bug because
you didn't call shot-gun".

Now, if this was an isolated incident, I personally would let it go. There are
bad engineers out there, it's not worth worrying about. Ignore them and move
on.

But this is not an isolated incident. This is how Kay has treated other bugs in
the past. Literally months of stalling, closing bug-reports, and blaming other
people and projects for problems that he caused, telling others how they should
change their projects because he broke something, and obviously it can't be his
fault.

And that is a problem.
