Subject: bug#37926: [PATCH] Unify Gnus select methods
Date: Sat, 02 Nov 2019 10:10:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zhhenzc4.fsf@dick> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87ftj68kfe.fsf@dellcorei5dias.home> (Deus Max's message of "Sat, 02 Nov 2019 15:41:41 +0200")
One, to reiterate, the patch at hand is a useability improvement, protecting new users from
the byzantine distinction of primary/secondary, and preserving the distinction
internally for backwards compatibility. Some have argued keeping the internal
distinction makes the patch unworthy of the risk, to which I am sympathetic.
Two, with mild effort, I could fully eliminate the distinction without user
guidance or manually rewriting newsrcs. Such a change exacerbates risk.
