You're both lying, and you're not very good at it. 
I, however, am aware that all of Haiku, Inc's Board members have commit access.

I see. 

So, you are saying that Haiku's file system, in the alpha state it is in, is so 
unstable, that it cannot contain a directory structure that includes 
/boot/common. 

Or perhaps you are saying that the mere presence of the /boot/common directory 
will render the ABI or API unusable.

Or maybe you forgot that Haiku, Inc. is making Haiku and not BeOS.

I see.

So it is your claim that the package manager will no longer work if a 
/boot/common directory was present.

I see.

So you are saying that the package manager is broken by design, as it uses 
"hard coded paths."

All these responses amount to nonsense.

Augustin, I won't even dignify the "{CITATION NEEDED}" bullshit.

The only ones trolling here are the individuals who have responded with the 
above nonsense.
The only conclusion I can reach for this kind of behaviour, is contempt for the 
community.
There is no logical reason to break things and continue to argue for the 
continued breakage
years later, with the only result being stagnation.

On Trolls:

"At times, the word can be abused to refer to anyone with controversial 
opinions they disagree with.
Such usages goes against the ordinary meaning of troll in multple ways. 
Most importantly, trolls don't actually believe the controversial views they 
claim."

I have no problem ignoring you. But, wouldn't it be much simpler if Haiku, Inc. 
and the Community can come to some sort of mmmmmutually ahceptable compromise?
