I'll stop the minute you start backing your claims with data - by which I mean PR numbers at the very least, and preferably information about the outcome of your own tests. > I'd said nearly a dozen times that the issues I have aren't specifics.

Sounds to me like you have something pretty specific in mind - yet you consistently refuse to share any of it with us. Every time someone asks you for more information, you dodge the issue with nonsense like the following: > I am questioning the overall policy for EoL here.
