Well, it's factual, as I presume you have now discovered.

Telling you factually what the issue is isn't rhetoric. Your Ad Hominem
reply, of course, is rhetoric but I don't need to bother engaging with
your rhetorical technique because I'm still arguing the facts: proving
that page forking can be integrated into writeback without adding to the
maintenance burden is a big issue for tux3. We're all still waiting for
the patches you were going to produce showing how this could be done.
