@ElAngelo, Moe, Dennis: Is there some documentation on that general framework?
Modules keep changing and new developers do version bumps,
so if they need to know some things before bumping X modules, then
we should tell them, instead of discouraging them from doing updates.
As far as I can tell zbiggy wrote most of the current mesa-lib/BUILD
and I think he normally does quite a good job for example.

which commit exactly btw?
In my opinion the policy should be: if you find a bug you should at least
try to fix it and - given you can't fix it for one reason or another -
write a mail to the mailinglist and explain your problem with fixing it.

I just answered auke on that one and it took me 2 minutes to look it up.
As you dug it up, it would have taken you about the same time to understand
the reasons behind that commit, as it took you to look up the link to aukes mail.

Florin did nothing wrong here, so there is nothing to "fix".

I don't know for sure, but I don't think this has anything to do with florin,
so I don't understand your reasoning.
Btw: you could try to use sand paper for wiping if that makes you feel better.
