A goal does not define implementation. That particular patch is confusing as it's claiming to be about giving developers control, but it's changing a file in the release scripts to take the control away from the app developers... the exact opposite of your opening paragraph. I'm probably understanding it wrong, but then so are others. It's a technical discussion and as such requires an actual technical response. Telling us it's for the goal or appealing to the community with this thread isn't helping deal with the communication issues which are clearly present on that MR to help everyone work out what your masterplan is and how this fits in and actually works towards the end goal.
