Yes, mostly.

I've proposed a set of packages, which has not made any progress wrt. a
review for almost 1/2 a year.

Now, people start nitpicking/nagging on details, some of them don't
understand.

The next nitpicking I expect to happen is GCC using
$prefix/$target_alias/, which tangles a defect/leak of the FHS.

Then they will start nit-picking on the magic these spec files contain
to work-around rpm's bugs wrt. handling foreign binaries.

You probably will be able to relate why I feel really pissed about this.
