Well, that wasn't me, and I have actually been using the kf5 master to
do my own remote debugging.

So I suggest that, instead of being all snarky and confrontational,
you'd accept that a hand was reached out to you in a friendly gesture.
In fact, I would give that advice to you no matter who you're talking
with.

Sincerely,
Nicolai
