My approach to it was actually: """ Hi Chris, I noticed you added the following comment to the reproducible-notes repo. Why? What is the significance of this? How does it relate to reproducible builds? What is your observation about this code exactly? Thanks, Jason """ I received a reply about not providing "private support" and given a place to comment online. When I clicked that, I was then required to make a "-guest" account using my email address on a website. Seemed a bit high overhead. The comment itself doesn't indicate to me (upstream) much at all, and a pretty ordinary attempt to figure out what it means didn't yield much. Seems like removal is in good order. Jason
