I personally don't do this kind of stuff, no. gettext is a library  
that just needs to work for me, like most of the 30+ dependencies also  
need to. As long as they do want I want them to, I don't care about  
their internals. Obviously, there are other people in this project and  
I'm particularly glad about this. Just because there is no need for me  
to care.

However, if upgrading a library is necessary and breaks other  
platforms, please be more specific on the reasons for the upgrade.  
People like me don't know about and in fact, I'm not willing to spend  
time on reading these logs for the not too likely event that I find  
the note you are referring to, i.e. the one that made it is necessary  
for you to upgrade gettext. Thus, please explain this decision. Don't  
shout at other team members, who may know less than you. Share your  
thoughts!


Best,
Felix
