Duly noted and in my very own works:     Acknowledge


Now that is expressed that things are NOT going smoothly,
we should be alert that we NOT gonna fight with each other.


Jonas, you have my permission to let it go.
Jonas, you have my permission to let it go for now.

Jonas, my actual request is that you notice that your report
 "Debian Rust packaging currently sub-optimal" has been seen.

Then interpret it as "no need to add more fuel to the flame war".

It is up to us for how long we let cool this down. The cooling down
is important for getting a constructive mindset. As in "frustration
will block finding a solution".

I will leave this "as is" for the next few days.

And after that continue with an old idea how to improve Debian
Rust packaging. That will be at debian-rust at lists.debian.org
I have set Reply-To for it.

 
Groeten
