That said, I will not respond to "commit comments", ala: https://github.com/landley/mkroot/commit/43b99b53b6c1a05fb81d6edc8a1610eff6084b3c#commitcomment-41232970 Because there is absolutely no way to find them again. Pull requests and issues you can navigate through a full historical list of on the web page. That stuff? Nope. (The answer in this case is "because I haven't implemented built-in sha256 support yet and neither defconnfig nor the binaries I ship has sha256 support yet, it's only currently available with libssl enabled.) If I could block THOSE, I would do so. Culture or no culture, them's is counterproductiveness.
