Bill,

I am going to draw a line here. The "alternatives" thing is not going to
happen. Not in libjpeg-turbo-progs and definitely not in libjpeg-turbo.

Release and security team has already expressed that freely
interchangeable libs[1] are not really desired, since it makes the
security and debugging much harder than it needs to be.

You have made your point that you don't agree with the tech-ctte
decision in words after the decision was made and in actions by making
just everybody involveds' lives harder, and it needs to stop right now.

I will do the one last thing - do the unnecessary and senseless
transition to rename libjpeg62 to libjpeg-turbo62 and that's where I
stop listening to your demands that push harder and harder.

1. for an example just look in pkg-mysql-maint archives

Cheers,
