I said I didn't intend to change things. This is an Open Source project
not some black box coming without sources ! If you care about behaviour
provide regression tests, check the code, etc ... It's not like I ever
refused a good argumentation for some code or some regression tests. I
just refuse to change to make non-conforming behaviour !
If what you request is against the spec, you may have troubles sooner
or later, if not then you have no reason to be so defensive.
The only promise I make is that I will try to stay compilant to the
spec (except where the cost requires developments or code dependancies
outside the limits sensible for this projects).
