drew (Mar 31 2024 at 20:00):Last time I messed with Roc, I decided I'd check back in again when this issue was solved, but it's been sitting for a while. I'm trying to understand if it is some kind of fundamental issue or just a "we'll get it eventually" type bug.
Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 31 2024 at 21:42):IIUC, it is a class of issues that are a big hassle to track down. Nothing fundamental, but take a lot of time and effort.
Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 31 2024 at 21:44):Overall contributor time varies a ton, so focus on the swath of issues vs new feature vs etc is hard to balance. On the same hand, issues definitely get old and forgotten about.
Richard Feldman (Mar 31 2024 at 23:01):this one is definitely not forgotten about, just a very tough nut to crack!
