 Very funny.  I don`t think so. Try to argue your position next time, 
 this may help.  BTW - this "bug" was in smartmontools from early 
 beginning and only you hit this condition - i think that is very good 
 indicator of its importance, isn`t it?
 
 Your commit will break smartmontools functionality, as i mentioned 
 before. Thats why i`m against it. Try to read before posting.
 
 The required file was never included in the /usr/include. And it was 
 changed more then once from the beginning.

 No its not a bug. *Nothing else cares*. Do you like that discussion?
 
 You can troll this way as long as you want. And of course, you VERY need 
 to upgrade smartmontools in the middle of the system upgrade cycle.
