I suspect Linus had a reason not to include the mailing lists in the first place and make a huge public discussion, but instead wrote to you personally. I guess this is just Linus desire not to waste the time of everybody as he learned that these discussions are fruitless sometimes.

I think Junio is behaving very professional unlike you, Felipe. This includes being polite and very patient. Also this includes weighting different reasons to make informed rational decisions.

Git being a project widely used and people trusting it for their work needs to have high quality and cannot go left today and go right tomorrow, but most of the decisions are done long-term.

Felipe, this may be the reason, why you think nothing changes. It's just slower than you'd like, but with more thoughts weighted.

Junio, I think you're doing an awesome job in maintaining Git and leading the community.
