It's just that it sorta read like "that idiot AdamW told me to run rawhide and life would be all milk, honey and kittens, and HE LIED! The bastard! Rawhide is hideous! Don't touch it!"

In fact, as I mentioned, flagging up the issues is absolutely something it'd be nice to have happen all the time. > Certainly I didn't propose whipping any developers.
