This is a problem. Just making a proposal without following up on discussions of its merits / demerits is ok, as long as you don’t push the proposal afterwards. Likewise, mentioning a (claimed) demerits of a counter-proposal is fine even if you don’t follow-up on counter-arguments.
But you did continue pushing the proposal – and not just by making some parts of it more clear, but in the form “actually I do intend to persuade, but I don’t want to think about actual arguments, so I’ll just repeat my claims without addressing the (counter)arguments”. Tacking on “just my opinion” doesn’t make it so, it just makes it look like an attempt for plausible deniability.
Whether you intended to or not, you did present an ad nauseum (+ implausible deniability) argument, so it is an ad nauseum argument.
>I'm trying to follow the idea to not waste any efforts have been made.
(Here you are making an (implicit) strawman again.) Then you are failing. In my proposal there is nothing about wasting effort, and your nauseum argumentation is quite a waste.
>My suggestion is to find something function to test under different platforms. And if you think (uname) is not a good way, you should give a better solution.
I already did. Also, no. Just because you know something is bad, doesn’t mean you know a better solution, so it doesn’t automatically follow that a better solution should be given.
It’s quite frustrating to be asked “You should tell me how to X” right after I did tell you how to X. It’s as-if you want people to not join the ML or have people leave the ML.
>If any possible, follow the path technically, not waste anyone's time, include me, to discuss things that outside of the patch itself.
Going slightly beyond the scope of a patch is not necessarily a waste of time, and on average can same some time (because less patches would be needed), as I probably mentioned earlier in some other words.
Also, "anyone” includes me. You should stop wasting _my_ time by repeating your ad nauseum messages -- whether it’s for just repeating your opinion, or intended for (fallacious) argumentation or persuasion, it is quite ad nauseum.
