I have put in quite a bit of effort to solve this question, mainly by adding comments to existing answers for further clarification. A bad thing that could happen (and actually happened with one of the earlier answers to that question by user Blauohr), was that the answer suddenly gets deleted by the poster.

Is there a better way to collaborate with people giving answers which are (initially) incomplete and require further discussion?

Or am I missing the point completely and should (for that question) rather just file a bug in one (or both) of the "competing" packages?
