Makes sense. Thank you for that.

This is the suckless community you're talking about.
If somebody raises a support question without providing a patch,
the first five replies will usually tell him to write a patch.
Code and philosophical "development" questions go hand in hand
in this community, so I'm unsure how to draw the line between
hackers_AT_ and dev@. Also I'm unsure whether or not I should
subscribe to hackers_AT_ now, because someone might eventually
have a problem with one of the patches I contributed to suckless
in the last years or I might miss some UI change in one of the projects
I use which will break my local set of patches.
Ross' latest mails beautifully illustrate I'm not the only one with that problem.
