</I>This issue is about a seeming majority of people wanting a certain
feature. It is not about a buggy forum. It is about an enhancement, that
isn't even an enhancement in everybody's eyes.
Maintainers of packages have the freedom to refuse to do an enhancement
request <A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Bug_policy#Enhancement_requests">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Bug_policy#Enhancement_requests</A>
Maintainers can refuse regardless of what reason they have to refuse.
Why don't we give the maât the same right for the unlimited edit time
request?
Moreover, in article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it
says:
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.......
<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights#Article_18">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights#Article_18</A>
This article was of course written for all those cases when someone has
different thoughts, conscience and/or religion than we have.
It is evident from what maât wrote, that he is convinced the edit time
should stay very limited. Why do we ignore the universal declaration of
human rights and try to force him to do something that is against his
conscience?

Marja
