@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_hmm... doxygen isn't always more useful than just reading the source, i'm more interested in seeing the active changes and the thinking behind them. e.g. if foo is going away, what is it replaced by?18:23:50
@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_should we be doing bar instead?18:24:11
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Hm is there such a case with niix-heuristic-gc?18:25:24
