Just wanted to note that I don't find your message unworthy of comment,
but since I'm traveling for the next week or so I find myself without
time to craft a response with the sort of attention it merits.

Sufficient time has passed to note a further enduring, disquieting trait
of the Community Team's response to critique or disagreement from
esteemed Debian veterans[1]: no acknowledgement, no concession.

Regards,
Branden

[1] obviously _I_ don't qualify, but you and Ian are pretty cool guys
