It's not equivalent at all. If I wasn't willing to fix it all,
I'd say so.

You might not be trying, but you are coming across as quite rude. The
bug was only reported Monday morning, and you are yelling at me
on a Tuesday night for not being willing to drop everything I'm doing
and fix it right now? Yes, we're heading towards 9.0 and yes, I'd
sure hate to see YAML ripped out (especially now that it's been
listed near and far as one of our new features), but I've got bills
to pay and writing a patch is a volunteer effort for me.

Since you seem so keen on telling other people what they should be
doing, here's some of your own medicine: why not focus on something
other than YAML, which myself and many other people can write, and
work more on the 9.0 open issues that your energy and expertise
would be more suited for?
