Please be as precise as possible when talking about this stuff. What
issues precisely?

I'm not going to accept patches for platform-specific changes just
because a user said that these changes are needed "to make it
work". Instead, I want to record the *precise* cause that triggered
these changes, so that others can re-evaluate whether they are still
needed five years from now.

Why is that a problem?

And why is that a problem?

This is exhausting.
