    Hutterer: Why libinput doesn't have a lot of config options
    Peter Hutterer writes
    about the cost of configuration options
    .
    "You see, whenever you write 'it's just 5 lines of code to make this
    an option', what I think is 'once the patch is reviewed and applied, I'll
    spend two days to write test cases and documentation. I'll need to handle
    any bug reports related to this, and I'm expected to make sure this option
    works indefinitely. Any addition of another feature may conflict with this
    option, so I need to make sure the right combination is possible and test
    cases are written.' So your work ends after writing a 5 line patch, my work
    as maintainer merely starts.
