Hi Simon, Simon Tournier <[email protected]> skribis:

I have to make choices. You are the single person who wrote the most about the topic, more than the author and sponsors combined. I appreciate your dedication to improving the proposal, but I also think we need to to let everyone’s voice heard—that’s the reason I mentioned this metaphor of a talking stick and also part of the reason I’m rate-limiting myself (the other reason being that I just cannot do much more in my time). Methodologically, I’m wary of a full rewrite or at least significant changes to the GCD because we’ve been patiently discussing every sentence of it. That’s why, regarding the text, I’m trying to limit changes to what appears to be needed. > To me, that’s the only pledge we can ask: Although you do whatever you > want about genAI, you promise to only collaborate with source code and > comments that had been carefully crafted with care.

I personally like this last part though again, one of the moves we did during the process was to explicitly list uses, and this sorta goes in the opposite direction. > Whatever.

Re “not modified since 20 days”, that’s because it’s become very hard for me to synthesize all the comments and come up with something that would address them. I think I have a clearer picture of what people are willing to accept, but it’s difficult for me to address the remaining concerns, while giving equal weight to all of them, regardless of how vocal people are. Nobody’s being ignored, but the guy is overwhelmed. I hope this side of the story is understandable. Thanks, Ludo’.
