Hi!

You stated that multiple times and there’s general consensus that
reporting the issue would be great.
However, as I explained before, there’s no clear way to do that for two
reasons:
1. Transformations apply to bags, not packages, so we cannot tell
whether a transformation has an effect until after the transformed
package has been lowered. Even then, it’s tricky.
2. In this case, this has to do with the semantics of transformations
themselves: by definition, ‘with-source’ dismisses patches.

My point is that there are folks who have been using package
transformation options for years; any claim has to be evaluated in that
light, and any change would have to be considered very carefully.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
