I was wondering when your side of the discussion would finally fail, and here
we have it.

1. You have provided no concrete examples, just some numbers pulled out of the
   air. Look, I can do that too! 5 sec * 1,000,000 packages = 5,000,000 sec!
   OMG PATCH IT NOW!

2. You specifically mention Yaakav, and you are right, he above probably anyone
   would have the most incentive to see this "fixed". However he has made it
   vividly clear that this "patch" (im quoting because you have also failed to
   produce one so far) isnt need and wont be accepted even if you wrote it.

Good day.
