Thanks for making the change. Also, sorry for any grief that I caused - We're on the same side, after all.
Ok, I've dropped it. Not that I would agree with you by a single percent. Just because it gives me a much too high blood pressure to discuss it with hotheads. There was no accusation whatsoever, not even a statement (beside the heading which was already true if a single person in the world has doubts). That the mere finding that somebody could be uncertain makes you uncomfortable makes me wonder what world you live in. If things are that bad in the US, sorry, you have my condolence.
I doubt it's just a US issue. Consider this: Have your complaints about FSP on the mailing list or Gerrit ever led to a positive outcome? Is there a German word for attempting the same thing many times over and expecting a different result?

Done
Regardless of the semantics you present, the ambiguity is what scares lawyers and we must assume a defensive posture (on their side) by default. Unfortunately this overrides any engineering discussions/decisions.
