Hi all, It is sad to loose one of our contributors and would be worth trying to have a mature conversation to solve the issue.
We, as a community, have our points while companies face many bottlenecks with their upstream work. The guidelines have improved the quality for a short time until new generated comments appeared and we were overwhelmed by the incoming contributions quantity and quality. I think that we should both talk, outline the issues and find solutions in a constructive way to avoid friction. Bet regards Alin On Wed, Feb 4, 2026 at 12:17 PM Alan C.
