Guys - from the sidelines, I’m feeling for all sides here. But this is an important point that it’s useful to debate openly and without hard feeling. (So thanks to all of you for this passion).
Please lets ensure we don’t get to a place that stops the will to contribute, nor the drive for improvement. Both are very important. And I’ve appreciated both! It sounds like a pattern is emerging where in the early days after a new release there is the drive to break a bit more to try and make a huge leap forward... I think we can all understand that, but it’s useful to be reminded about it and put some exit criterion put in place (as in the trenches their is also the same excitement to nail some of the niggly bits too). In the same vein, however, can we understand if these changes have broken P8 badly (is it just a a certain area?). I also think it is worth understanding the pro’s and con’s of doing things in a branch. I think we would all agree that not breaking P8 mainline is optimal, but equally we’ve all experienced merge hell too (and iceberg is still a nascent solution that is grappling with this problem). So was it just too hard to branch? And if it was, should we put a little - this is the process for hard things like this, safety check in place? Equally, if it’s “oops”, I think we all can understand that too. But most of all - we need everyone on board to make needed improvements, and keep our environment and community healthy!
