I understand you’re dissatisfied with this decision, but it’s extremely poor form to continue making these little asides, and unclear what you hope to accomplish, if anything. https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/the-art-of-closing/ is an excellent post to help understand why “no” is far more healthy for a project than “yes”. The joy of open source is that, if you disagree with that direction, you’re free to go your own way and do your own thing. Indeed, in many ways, it can be more healthy for open-source projects that if folks don’t feel their contributions are being accepted for them to go their own way and create their own communities, rather than engaging with negativity. However, continually sniping at members of the community, attempting to relitigate past decisions, or “casually” bringing them up disparagingly are all profoundly unenjoyable behaviors, and thus worth avoiding. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
