"We already told you"? Who is Eric Blake talking to? Nobody talked there about coreutils 8.20 or 'dd status=none'. Paul Eggert kindly wrote about 'dd status=noxfer'. Eric Blake can re-read the thread if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to, at least he can stop talking people condescendingly after not really reading the conversations.
