Yes, the CoC is always used, if people have good arguments against
wrong policies. Actually I didn't offend the CoC, but that you misuse
the CoC without a good reason, instead of arguing, is speaking for
itself.

Again, regressions are against the basic philosophy of Linux, but for
the huge desktop environments there are tons of regressions that
interact with other applications. They often even care about the
difference of major releases and dot releases, regarding compatibility.
For Qt5 even qtconfig is dropped, assumed this becomes popular, e.g for
GTK too, then in the close future we will get all kinds of trouble, if
we use Qt and GTK applications. Even with the GTK and Qt config files
that still can be used, at least up to Qt 4, it's already hard to get
consistent font sizes etc..

Your claim that bug reports are always welcome is simply not true. You
will find tons of bug reports in FLOSS bug trackers made by me. Most
are made to projects that stay with the Linux philosophy. Some projects
are everlasting. They have progression and they are keeping with
horse-sense and the Linux philosophy and also with pollution control.
It's a pleasure to help the developers with bug reports, but I have
given up to file bugs against GNOME, KDE and Xfce4, since it makes no
sense. They even don't care about bug reports from Linus Torvalds ;),
or about EU regulations for environmental protection. Note, only the
big desktop environments make green drives spin down and up again and
again.

I'm not interested in a flame war, I simply stop this discussion. A
discussion is hopeless.
