Some might argue that the clothes we wear, that hug our bodies and keep us warm, should be handwoven and handspun (as done for ages, back when we lived under the stars) but I am content with my manufactured clothing. We stopped smashing looms long ago. [...] > From my side: I'm out. I'm out of guix-devel, and will gradually stop > taking part on any governance discussion.

It deeply saddens me that the self-proclaimed inclusionists are again turning out to be exclusionists. Similar to the licensing problems with Kate, in that "concerns" about LLMs and licensing have caused an actual legal violation involving free software. While Ludo' and other long-time contributors have been voices of reason calmly navigating the current thing, the (thankfully rare) discussion threads have been much more adversarial. Ludo' speaks softly so that other voices can be heard and Guix can grow independent of its creator, but this only works if other voices of reason remain.
