The CouchDB project came into the Incubator with a lot of momentum and
direction, and I consider part of my role with the project, to help
insulate Damien from the mailing-list chatter, especially when he's
deep in code. I acknowledge that could be a mistake as well, if it
leads to community misapprehension.
Seriously? The PMC chair has handlers to keep him isolated from the
community?
The whole thing started because I closed a bug with a comment that
there must be an _upcoming discussion_.
I sympathize with Antony's predicament. He's been using bulk doc
transactions in a high-pressure environment, and it works for him.
It's understandable that he'd be upset, first hearing about the patch
like this.
Had someone proposed the change on the dev list, let him participate
in a debate about the merits, and the change still happened, there
would be nothing to talk about.
