+# The patches violated the packaging guidelines from the beginning so I took
+# the initiative to merge them and submit them upstream. But I couldn't work
+# with the upstream developers on the fix as I didn't have enough information
+# about the use cases. Please cooperate with usptream and get the patch
+# accepted. There's nothing Fedora specific in the patch.
