<p>I agree. I was bitten by this as a Java developer in a hobby open
source project, and even if at some point I understood why things
where the way they are, I do not remember the reasoning, and I
still find it confusing that it did not work as I expected it to,
nor what steps I were supposed to take instead to resolve the
problem at hand.</p>
<p>I understand that this is not a very common problem or a
high-priority issue, and I would have accepted that it was
down-prioritized to the point that it will take a long time to
resolve, but the current "works as intended" approach is still a
bit hard for me to swallow.</p>
