I just explained why libproxy 0.4 is MORE broken than 0.3. Currently we
have something barely functional, upgrading would mean having things go
even worse.

This “ideal of perfection” only requires someone to stick his fingers
out of his ass and actually do the work. It’s not that big a task since
all the code is already here.
