In other words, you are now saying that it does not demonstrate your earlier claim that they do not care about usability at all?

So, the short quote given without much context was an attempt to mislead those who are reading this discussion? That sounds even worse to me.

In any case, so far you managed to convince me even less that it would help the Zsh userbase to carry a "by default has to fall behind" copy of what they can get, or their distro packagers can package, the latest and greatest directly from your github repository as part of the release of this project.

Thanks, and bye for now.
