Re: [PATCH] config: deprecate using "" as boolean value false.

Why do you call this a "fix", when the only effect of it is
breaking people's existing setups?  Wouldn't a set of proper
fixes to the config parsing callback functions solve all the
issues without having any downsides?

I think you are wasting both of our times.  You could be doing
the real fix instead.  Or I could be spending time on it,
instead of repeating to you how mistaken this approach is.

So far I've seen and queued only two usable fixes since that
[Janitor] request.  Maybe I should have ignored all this
discussion in this thread and spent my time on doing the
Janitorial work.  The reason I joined the thread was that I
hoped that I could save people like _you_ from wasting _your_
time in the discussion, instead of making better use of it by
doing audits and fixes.

Grrr.
