You didn't address the substance of the report: lack of a reason why it should be present. What's a good reason why it, alone among our many libraries, should have an index entry of that form? That's what begs justifying. There's no need to justify some imagined purist consistency. There should be no special need for a reason to remove it, if there's no reason to have it. Maybe there's a good reason for entry `seq library'. It's not obvious to me. If so, please say what it is.

(Once again, BTW) no one has argued for blind and systematic consistency. That's never a requirement. And I'd be the last person to argue for that. Occam's razor: If there's no good reason to add `seq library', why add it? If there's a reason for it _then_ close the report (after providing the reason, please).

That's a wrong question, when talking about index entries. the important question is "is it useful?" > Maybe there's a good reason for entry `seq > library'. It's not obvious to me. Not obvious to you doesn't mean you should file a bug report, or that we should continue discussing this.

To me, it doesn't belong - it shouldn't be present, because I don't see it as especially useful. But I'll be glad to learn how it is. You don't say why it's useful. In particular, why is it more useful than an entry that could be added for some other library? What's so useful about this entry for this library? > > Maybe there's a good reason for entry `seq > > library'. It's not obvious to me. >=20 > Not obvious to you doesn't mean you should file a bug report, or that > we should continue discussing this. I should file a bug report when I think it can help improve Emacs. And that's what I do. Please don't tell others when or whether they _should_ file bug reports. You can close any report that you don't think is helpful.

Why do you continue arguing instead of accepting the decision? This is a recurring pattern with you, and one that makes it so unnecessarily hard handling your bug reports. People avoid responding to your bug reports because of that. I myself sometimes avoid them. This is unnecessary, and actually harms Emacs. Please consider not arguing about decisions to close your bug reports. > You can close any report that you don't think is helpful. I already did. But it doesn't seem to help, not with bugs filed by you.
