You may lick a corner of a piece of cake and think that it would repel other people enough to leave only you to consider eating it, but no, in this project, you aren't allowed to lick a Makefile and claim that you own it. Also, if some contributors get too annoying to be worth our time interacting with, it is OK to ignore them. > I don't think this topic is particularly urgent, so I'm OK to drop it > for now (and as always, it's your choice what you work on).
