- I don't mean we shouldn't define semantic for each use of "related" or

- toolkit.
You just proved Linus's point. Ever have to parse
archives of old mail? There are many different ways
of saying the same thing, and many of the same way
of saying different things. It's pure hell.
And people expect you to get the X-* headers correct
for whatever definition of correct they happen to have
at the moment. ugh. You have many de-facto semantics
for the same headers, and no way to disambiguate them.
People will need to parse and understand git archives
thirty+ years from now. Don't place this curse on
them.
