Yeah, it's just that the way you put it, it sounded like you and/or
the core developers/owners/powers that be/whatever ya wanna call it
had decided that upscaling was just not going to happen in darktable.
I've heard it more than once, and although I found such decision
annoying, I accepted it. Someone had decided. But when it came with a
reference to something that's actually pretty damn subjective and
totally depending on the image in question, that took it a bit far for
my taste. I guess my annoyance got pushed.
Now you seem to be saying that sure, upscale can happen as long as
someone implements it (and does it well, I presume). That's a totally
different ballgame, and I'm quite happy to play along with that. Time
will of course tell.

There seems to be a demand ;-)

I don't mind a warning like that, but if that happens, it would be
nice if it was possible to turn off, custumisable by the user. Some
of us do know what we're getting into ;-)

Ah, yeah, I saw that at some point... forgot to mention it and have
forgotten since... so sorry.
Cheers,
