“Merge and decist” - these are some strong words. Particularly when the previous paragraphs called for a de-escalative approach and a meeting of minds. I don’t see how public admonishment could possibly be productive towards the stated goals.


Did you read through the linked issue in total?


It's obviously hard to judge from the outside, but the linked issue conversation definitely casts the reviewer in a bad light.


From what I can tell there are some new changes that may break backwards compat with stuff. One group wants that resolved the other does not think it is that big of deal. Something like this that goes back to the early 90s and thousands of random unknown number of installed clients/servers. backwards compat is probably something to look into and properly deal with?


Sure, but I'm not talking about that. I mean the one sentence responses to carefully thought out messages, the feet-dragging, etc etc, and each response being Brazil[0]-like nothing to do with the previous ones which were responded to.
