Words of wisdom, to be sure. For what it's worth, I very much
appreciate not only your excellent hacks, but also your talents at
fostering a friendly environment in which a community can flourish.
Ultimately, that's far more important than any technical issue.
Just please be aware that it is easier to be relaxed about a debate when
you're comfortable with the status quo, and when your approval is
required before changes can be made. Don't get me wrong; I do not
begrudge that you have this authority. You are a wise and fair-minded
maintainer, and saying "no" (when warranted) is one of your most
important roles.
I merely point out that, besides any differences in personality (and I
concede that I have much to learn from you about how to foster a
friendly community), in this debate you are in an inherently more
comfortable position than I am.
Regards,
Mark
