Didn't some of the previously-enumerated combinations had 3+ routes to
filing such things? Even if not, more than one is sub-optimal at the
very least.

It is a shame you don't see the overhead as being meaningful enough to
remark upon. Perhaps it's "another lamby thing" but — not to put too
much stress on this angle — not appreciating and considering the
prefered workflows of the folks doing the maintenance itself seems a
little… short-sighted at best.

Very happy to discuss in Paris.

(These seem like separate issues; very happy to discuss, alas away from
#910541.)
