The patch in question:
- was on gerrit since Sept. so it had to have a decision being make
OK, if there is a technical reason that a decision is needed, fine.
Therefore I thanked you to ask this list.
- on gerrit it had two votes supporting the change (Tor, Alfredo)
- I notified this list for their convenience, and checked back a week later
with no conclusive vote to be found
One couuld also judge the many questions, doubts and oposite opinions
in this list as a veto for push at this state? Especialy since you asked
for a good consensus ;)
As such the change goes it, as letting the original author wait even longer
would be highly discouraging to the author and a bad precedent to contributors.
Of course the work of Samuel is much appreciated. Also, he contributes a
lot!
But does that mean that there can't be a single patch that is build on a
wrong assumption?
And as for now that might well turn out to be the case - lets see what
response comes to the analysis in the other mails this afternoon.
As said, this doesnt bar this list to provide construtive input on how to proceed.
It might well do the other thing - it's not only developers that are
humans that may get discouraged by the way things go.
Maybe there is a way to try prevent both :)
P.S.: Also note, that just because this is now in on master it would be
impossible to undo for a release. But I would really hate to do that, as
there is an opportunity to push this forward and let Samuel make this better in
4.3. As said, that would need a quick and conclusive description on where to go
from here.
I'm eager to learn what the real problem is that is solved with the patch.
Kind regards,
Cor
