May I remind y'all that you are continuing to bikeshed. It's not that it
doesn't matter, it's that a very small number of people care very very
much. Speaking of a disaster that's already happening, if y'all don't move

thank you for suggestion

It's written in Petr, which compiles English to

Perhaps we should keep the banner space there during the time of the

This sounds like something non-technical, like you would discuss at a
