It probably is a bit of both. I personally did not see much point in adding the long "conflicts" marker to the shell prompt (I did worry about possible complaints by end users triggered by seeing them suddenly without asking, which was why I commented on the patch) and I was waiting for interested folks to speak out.

I do not know about other folks if they did see and did not find it interesting, they are not looking at others' work, or your second round came on a particularly bad day (busy with other topics, or weekend just before the list was swamped with many new topics at the beginning of a new week, or something). Pinging on the thread like you did would be the right thing to do to "kick" those, who did see and who were in favor but who kept silent, into action ;-)
