Yes, sometimes upstreams are insane. Then we can't deal with them. We're aiming to handle the large majority of sensible cases here, not the things that don't map onto version concepts in any way. > >> Then if you continued to read you'll notice that > >=20 > > ...you got so incoherent I gave up trying to work out what you're on > > about.
