I agree. In fack I think Mark is being very unreasonable with Daniel, to be frank. I think Daniel has gone way beyond the call of duty to fix his bug. You shouldn't be required to overhaul an entire piece of infrastructure just because in the long run that's the "utopian" way to solve the problem. Short term reasonable solutions are fine, and I think Daniel's proposal(s) are beyond reasonable. Being overly difficult is how you lose volunteers, and last I checked GDB didn't exactly have an excess of people helping out.
