Hello Simon! ...sorry for the OT, I'm referencing an old message: https://yhetil.org/guix/[email protected]/ . Anyway.
Consider this message a form of /nostalgia/ from an _old_ nerd, if you want call it a rant. Anyway.

Anyway. Anyway? :-) Today I'm trying to follow the patch history and related discussion about the now withdrawn GCD 008 [2] and I'm having a hard time _tracing_ comments _related_ to the document status (aka commit) at the time comments was posted [1], especially because there are no (unambiguously human readeable) _patches_ attached to each comment. Is it wrong if I say we passed from a situation where "the discussion was hard to follow (because you had to use a text-only-safe MUA, be able ti read a patch and use some useful helping tools)" to a situation where "the discussion is impossible to follow" (even if you are very experienced in information retrieval) as you said above?

[...] Surely there must be something I'm missing here. Anyway. Happy hacking! Gio' [1] I'm trying to follow this thread [2] in my MUA side-by-side with https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-consensus-documents/pulls/13/commits and it's... mind-blowing to me :-O [2] https://yhetil.org/guix/[email protected]/ -- Giovanni Biscuolo Xelera IT Infrastructures
