There are several factors which contribute to your perception of difficulty here. 1. I try to extract from every feedback the information about the amount of acceptance or rejection for a specific update suggestion. A terse feedback (like yours for this issue) makes it occasionally harder to see the next useful steps. So another constructive discussion is evolving around the clarification of some implementation details. 2. I prefer also different communication styles at some points. 3. I reached a point where the desired software updates were not immediately obvious for me while other contributors might have achieved a better understanding for the affected issues already. 4. I am on the way at the moment to get my Linux software development system running again. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/503327-System-startup-does-not-continue-after-hard-disk-detection > Everyone gets their code reviewed, everyone has to modify their > changes to adhere to the subsystem maintainer's wishes.

That is also true as the software development process will be continued. Regards, Markus
