Hi Mark, We already agreed to drop the patch. I don't understand why you'd want to pick a fight that no one is fighting. Besides where the tarball came from is a fact.
Since this is a point of disagreement I think this is a discussion that should be had. I'll provide a couple of word definitions from the English dictionary before providing my argument so that it is clear what I'm talking about. Fact: 1. a thing that is known or proved to be true. 2. information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article. 3. used to refer to a particular situation under discussion. 4. the truth about events as opposed to interpretation. Inform: 1. give (someone) facts or information 2. give an essential or formative principle or quality to Steer: 1. guide or control the movement of (a vehicle, vessel, or aircraft), for example by turning a wheel or operating a rudder. Are you saying that the source-uri of a package isn't a fact? If we agree that it is a fact, it can per definition only inform users actions, being a truth, but not steer them. The only way that this could be considered steering is as I stated earlier, if we censor some facts and display others. This causes facts to show a distorted picture. I provided a solution to this, by agreeing that we weren't providing all information. David
