No, I didn't know that, nor was it mentioned in the commit log.
What was mentioned is that there are many issues related to libfetch,
hence was my question, because to a bystander it looks like a move

your tone suggests this discussion is unwelcome, I guess I'd have
to drop it here and discuss this in a more suitable forum.
