: My bug report was to forestall a specific action threatened by Binner.
And he (Binner himself), ignoring the obvious conflict of interest, rushes in close the report.
If you can't see the the ethical fault in that, you have my pity.
You are missing the point. The bug report was closed as "INVALID". Your bug report was not reporting a bug or even an enhancement request. If you want to discuss future strategies then use the mailing list, if you want to report a specific bug or request a specific feature use bugzilla. Stephan even indicated the appropriate place[0] to discuss whether and when KDE3 will be dropped.

What I wanted to do, was to prevent Opensuse from removing KDE3 in 11.1 as Binner threatened to do. Regardless of the state of KDE4, I want KDE3 to remain. (There is no category of bug report that specifically addresses preventing threatened package deletion as arm twisting to install and test someones pet future version of software) . I did not expect the man who made the threat to turn around and disallow the bug report. Highly unethical! Until you are ready to address the ethical dilemma of having the same person CLOSE the request as who MADE THE THREAT, your weighing in here amounts to nothing more than circling the wagons, and you end up looking like another of the KDE mafia out to silence any alternate opinion. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
