[Opensc-devel] https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/issues/173 - bug closed w/o resolution

[Alex S. <ml...@os...>]

Hi,

As OpenSC user it is unclear for me why bug 173 was closed without any 
resolution. From my personal point of view proposed patch was not able 
to cause any issues for OpenSC users. I am agree that problem is 
probably with standard compliance, but i don`t understand why OpenSC 
should drop support of popular hardware because of this reason. E.g. 
ACPI code in the Linux kernel supports many exceptions or buggy 
chipsets. I don`t see any benefits that users with similar problems will 
use third-party patches instead. It would be great if other developers 
can take a look on this issue.

If my patch is done in a wrong way - please recommend how to do it 
properly, but i think that closing real issue (even if it is caused by 
wrong windows official driver) is not a good approach.
