It's possible to do what your sentence says, but your sentence still is
bullshit. Looks like you want to show everyone you are able to form
overly complicated sentences.

Not the arguments themselves contradict, but there is a contradiction in
your argumentation.

Ok, so noone is able to support this package properly - not even the
original authors as there obviously isn't any track of your changes to
it. That was the information I was interested in. Why did you insist
there is version information in the first place?

Anyway, I don't even know why I keep answering to you. You don't seem to
be interested in any serious discussion. You either
- apply guerilla tactics to your argumentation trying to make a fool of
the other person (see your stupid sentence above)
- or do countless argumentation U-turns in the hope noone notices it (as
in "Package A has no proper version management - I think Plugin B does
not need version management because it's still new."

I have better uses for my time than wasting it in such 'discussions'.
Initially I hoped it's possible to rationally discuss with you, but I
see that's not the case.

EOD from my side.

Regards,

Danny
