No. That sentence tells me you've _still_ not understood any of the
technical arguments in the thread, you're _still_ arguing with
completely uninteresting arguments. Where before you had "it's well
tested" and "it uses 'standard' APIs" now you're saying "it doesn't
affect anyone else". All of that is obvious, and also completely besides
the point.

Please go back and actually _understand_ the discussion. Also actually
_participate_ in the discussion too, so far you've pretty much only made
empty arguments. Once you've understood the concerns and can explain why
they don't apply, _then_ you can resend the patch.
