Ah, that makes sense.

Hmm, I didn't think I had jumped to any conclusions.  That's why I was
patiently waiting for a response on the bug.  I only spoke up because
I was afraid that the appearance of latexmk on this list meant that
its destruction was imminent.  In any case, Jindrich has been CCed to
the FESCO ticket, so I'll just wait for a response there.

Or maybe you aren't talking to me.  I think it's too late in the
morning for me to claim that it's too early in the morning for my
brain to be working properly.  I think I have to admit now that my
brain is already entering full "Christmas vacation" mode.  C'mon
brain, back to work....
