This directly contradicts the link[0] you referenced. Would you agree?
Let's not jump to the conclusion that GZDoom must be removed. Removal is the
last step, not the first.
That of course doesn't mean than you're wrong, only that upstream has a
different opinion. Did you ask them about it? What did they say?
For example, I wouldn't *expect* simply omitting the data files to suffice, if
there's optional code that also needs to be --disabled. Did you look into that?
Kind regards,
T G-R
