As a C maintainer, you should care how the other side of the interface is implemented even if you're not actively involved in writing that code. I don't think it is reasonable, for software quality reasons, to have a policy wher

That's part of the problem as well - it's not exactly clear what the Palestinian position is - partly because I think they see things like 'right of return' (which is completely unacceptable to Israel) as bargaining chip
