BTW: Can a NATO country shoot a target at territory of Ukraine over the border, like Russia and Belarus do?

Sure they can. If they declare war and officially enter the conflict. That wouldn't be a NATO action though, it's a defensive pact.

And it won't happen. Although... the last few days have shown extraordinary events that I never expected. The EU approving 500 Million for weapon purchases for Ukraine, countries supplying fighters after two days delay, officiaks saying that their are fine with their citizens volunteering to fight for another state army (illegal pretty much everywhere), plans to supply troop movement intelligence... That's all just a very small step from active participation.

This is the most significant shift in European politics since the fall of the Soviet union.

As if the pointless prodding of “any updates? :)” is ever called for. If there were any updates, there would be fucking updates posted. I frequently get comments like this in projects they I maintain, sometimes less than a day after the issue was opened, and it does nothing but annoy me and make me not want to resolve their issue. Why is there an expectation that maintainers have infinite amounts of time to fix whatever problem you’re having? Extremely frustrating and makes me hate working in open source.

This is involving NATO in the war and is casus belli. Don't do that.

Not disagreeing with your conclusion, but the casus belli is already there.

You're right in theory. In reality, though, allowing citizens to call him President Putain is a casus belli, as far as Russia is concerned, so I'm not sure what actual difference it makes.

For the record, Russia also said sanctions would be considered an act of war. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We'll see what happens if Russia continues to indiscriminately massacre civilians by using MLRS into dense urban centers.

“Any update on this” should just subscribe you to the issue without actually leaving the comment

I don't know their project, but personally I don't have anything against people "bumping" a thread that has gone cold without an actual solution. I am busy and I don't take my open source project very seriously so things do fall through the cracks from time to time.

EDIT: This is a small scale project and the user waited 19 days before bumping. To me that's perfectly reasonable.
