I welcome thoughtful discussion and debate, but this conversation is running in circles and getting heated. I apologize to those who were just asking questions in good faith, but some others in this thread are going to have to find a more productive way to engage in conversation about decisions they disagree with. This issue is a duplicate of many others, linked throughout the comments above. We have been talking about this for _years_, and nothing new has been said in this thread, so it has become just a drain on maintainer time and energy. Thank you for understanding.
