Where - did - I call "someone" BECAUSE they would disagree ?
Sorry there has been a translation problem maybe, in france "pi" is "three and some dirt" for the expression, anything "dot something below five" is "some dirt"...
Dunno in English it would say "a bit" "just above"... Dirt is not pejorative dirt is 0.141593...
You don't know that the first digit of "pi" is three ? My answer, was a pun with your logging, and a REAL question about "how many"...

Yes, it crossed my mind, but I've chosen version better for you. Otherwise your questions suggest that no one except me wants this, or those persons are even less than dirt for you, both possibilities are obviously pure trolling.

No, didn't know that, thank you Your second question is not truly a question, but a comment, presentation of your view about how many. If your intention was different, you can always say sorry to those persons.

Beware, troll attitude is not far from 'flooding forums with your opinion', just because you can...
Well, it depends on what you will call an opinion, because not every sentence one writes is. And of course there's obvious limit on how many times it can be repeated, but that doesn't change the fact that without different opinions true discussion is impossible. That would be all on my part.

No, my question was "how many exactly"... As your 'name' is a PI approximation, I thought you liked precision and sentences such as « It would make life of many people much easier» is far from being a "scientific basis" to take a decision that brings a lot of work... I just forgot that loving precision imply using the symbolic 'pi' letter and not an approximation with a rounding error. So I missed my target .
Also I find "odd" to start making suggestions on what would be good in a distro, a few posts after suscription. But that's my bias... Maybe if it didn't sounds like a "christmas wish" I would have taken that more seriously.
Anyway, forget me, I'm a bear who sometimes goes out of his cave, I understand that I might not be the best encounter for the friendly tourists .
