So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.

    it was ignored for 5 days, hardly forever. does Linus’ SLA need to be quicker?

    making things public loads the issue with political and social pressure making more damage to the project and everyone involved inevitable. it was made more toxic

    the code would have made it in either way

      You are really trying hard to contort things into things I didn’t say.

      The people problem is being ignored, and it wasn’t until Linus was made aware of a technical justification for slapping Hellwig down that Linus focused his disapproval away from Marcan, who was rightly calling this out, to the person creating the problem.

      And we lost at least three solid R4L devs, of which, Marcan was one, and there’s zero acknowledgement from Linus that fixating on Marcan rightly calling this shit out was wrong.

      The people problem of letting obstinate babies block valid code for any non-technical reason still has not been addressed, and this will keep happening until that changes.

        so now you say nothing has been resolved after all?

        social media or not, we still have the:

        people problem of letting obstinate babies block valid code for any non-technical reason

        so when you said

        Airing-out Hellwig’s successful attempt to sabotage Rust efforts was good, actually.

        what you meant was, it didn’t do a damn thing
