You did not address the primary point, i.e. why the particular change is a bad one. Sure, you lost a scripted porcelain or two that are not used much, but in exchange for what? That is _the_ issue and you skirt around it. The series makes us lose all strategies that are actively tested that are spawned as a subprocess, which is the way all third-party strategies will be used. After this, we have less test coverage of the codepaths we care about, which is *not* a scripted "resolve" strategy, but the code that runs third-party strategies as externals.
