Mistakes happen. Can I say what my problem is? Here goes: so far, no one in this discussion offered actual help with the actual issue.

software is old; the fact that the last release was 20 years ago is an
interesting fact but in isolation that doesn't represent a problem.
Indeed, compared to some other packages in oe-core, eight patches in
total over a 20-year period doesn't seem like that bad of an average.

Fair enough, I wro= te a hasty commit message. Mistakes happen.
