Hi Mike,

We don't require a release, just this patch applied to github repo please.

Perhaps not, but releases remain a good thing. When this patch is in a release, it means that this package will work in OpenBSD on Debian too, and thus in derivatives, and probably elsewhere. Whilst it's just in an arbitrary unreleased commit in a github project it's much less likely to make it into distros, and thus to users.

Too many projects have forgotten about making releases, and it's a disservice to their users. I'm glad that this upstream sees the point and is doing a good job on this front.

Wookey
