Low priority is one thing, actively reverting an already backported fix is
another (because it is actually MORE work). That is deliberate sabotage.
And backporting a bugfix is trivial, it's done in 1 or 2 minutes with git
cherry-pick (or you commit to the branch first and then merge the branch to
master, cherry-pick is for when the fix is already in master and you need to
get it to the branch without merging all the other stuff in master).
BTW, I personally need to calm myself down every time somebody uses
"WTF"
in an email. You may see it as harmless, but I see a man shouting at me in
anger, which I don't like. Luckily, I'm not offended by that, indirect
nature of internet communication makes people less emphatic, but some may
be.
Sorry, but I simply do not understand your position, and your explanation
did not help.
