The point was not to speculate on how many users were impacted, but rather to point out the unannounced impact to the users. Changes of this magnitude could benefit from clearer communication, especially since some "normal" (non developer) users rely on the master branch, and updates to it, for legitimate reasons.

While I appreciate that document translations were deemed necessary, it seems to have drawn focus away from the main project and had a counterproductive effect. Perhaps managing document translations in a separate repository could help us focus more on the core project while still supporting that important work. The shear number of commits that have broken things, as well as the the increase in size of the project (now hundreds of megabytes) due to document translations is concerning. _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
