You: [0]

  Nobody's talking about an obligation here.

Also you: [1]

  If you think you can do better than journald's existing format, propose a new one with tests to prove it.

The fact that you're personally powerless to enforce an obligation doesn't change the fact that you're talking about creating an obligation.

Performance bugs absolutely are bugs... especially when they're in a long-running corporation-backed project that presents itself as the project atop which all Linux systems should be built.

Well, I didn't intend to suggest an obligation, more of a best practice or challenge. Please put more faith in my intentions over whatever interpretation of my words you want to make.

Per our Guidelines:

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
