I have a serious question for everyone who voted (for and against the inclusion):

Have you tried the patch while working in LyX for some time before casting the vote?

Just to clarify my intentions: I was honestly interested in whether people have tried the patch or not. I did not mean to say that people *should* have tried the patch. Not even in case someone voted. I know people don't have the time or interest to try every patch posted here. And that's totally fine. However, I think in that case leaving more time for people who are actually interested to discuss is a good idea. And things are particularly slow at the moment I guess due to holidays and COV-19 related issues. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that I did not mean people to do things they don't want to. However, I tend to argue about things if I disagree. That might not be everyone's cup of tea. I never mean to force people accept my position. I accept if someone just disagree. But I prefer it if I can better understand why.

It seems a bit tricky to get reaction on the list by those who are interested to respond without some others who are not really interested in discussion feeling called upon as well. I guess the problem is that if they do not pitch in then it might be said or thought "Why haven't you said earlier that you are against it?" I am not sure how to solve that problem. One solution might be to move initial discussions about patches to the bug tracker. There many people don't get automatic updates and hence the problem is circumvented.
