This is what open source is all about: See a problem with your tool, fix it yourself, and everyone enjoys the improvements.

While the fix has created some regression, that bug is seeing work, too.

And this is why devs don't often focus on the minor issues. Haha. Good stuff.

To be clear, I love this story and kudos to Yifan Zhu for the initiative. Let's normalize crediting people properly

I see that this is one of the negative of OSS instead. Seems a lot of people aware of this bug, but there's no pressure to fix this until 22 years.

Or: It’s such a minor bug that nobody really cared enough and they devoted time to other, more important things. But they made the choice as a collective and not a bunch of suits in a board room.
