There are obviously people sabotaging X already since the change went
in more than two years ago and stayed in spite of being pointed out as
bogus.

I can understand that it is not possible to fix all issues at once or
that implementing new features may bring new bugs but actively
breaking a previously working feature is a different thing altogether.

If "we won't talk about this" is the only answer then that's also an
answer I guess.
