*sigh* does nobody read the article anymore?

I think the article can be read in two ways: I read it first as please Okular guys remove that feature from the code, and the second time (after reading your comment) realised that it could (should?) be read as please Okular/KDE/Debian guys set the default option to not enforce the restriction, which they don't want to do.

Did some people come over from Slashdot? It is common there to comment without reading TFA...

Useless denigrating comments

Really? I didn't know: never been on /.
Thanks for sharing this invaluable experience, your comment was most useful.

Also, I do hope the 'F' in TFA meant 'featured', because over here at LWN people usually tend to be polite to each other.

But I do realise that, although this did not use to be too much the case on LWN, people like to tell others off and punish them, rather than trying to understand them. I can see that on the road to work every day.
