There are very valid reasons not to talk about auto-decoding
again:
- it's too late to remove because breakage
- attempts at removing it were _already_ tried
- it has been debated to DEATH
- there is an easy work-around
So any discussion _now_ would have the very same structure of
the discussion _then_, and would lead to the exact same result.
It's quite tragic. And I urge the real D supporters to let such
conversation die (topics debated to death) as soon as they
appear.
The real supporters? So it's a religion? For me it's about
technology and finding a good tool for a job.
why shouldn't users be allowed to give feedback?
Straw-man.
I meant in _general_, not necessarily autodecode ;)
If we don't get over _some_ technical debate, the only thing
that is achieved is a loss of time for everyone involved.
