Yes, as I said, we can route around roadblocks and we will. The more complicated the route, the less likely others are to replicate it, the less useful of an impact it has. Which is why the roadblock and the refusal to even hear criticism of the roadblock is distasteful.

Rather than chide me about the infrastructure I could build to route around the roadblock, why don't you write to a PAUSE admin about fixing the problem at its source by making the roadblock optional?
