You generalized one specific case to _all components of all Red Hat
maintainers_. When I rejected that generalization, you are counteracting
by claiming that my argument does not apply for that one _specific_
case. Sorry, but that is a faulty reasoning.
No i did not "generalized one specific case to _all components of all
Red Hat"
I know alot of Red Hat's employees that participate in the project by
their own free will and at their own free time.
I also know alot of Red Hat's employees that are working in the project
that go on and above their "duty" doing so.
And I also know yes granted an single individual that said he could not
update his component in the project which he maintained without asking
his "boss" before doing so which raises a whole bunch of questions but
we have saying here in Icelandic "Sjaldan er ein báran stök"
