At a guess, you're talking about the trusted extensions. If so, then I think it's rather presumptuous to say that the team that did this was "planless." It seems to proceed from an assumption that supporting the latest POSIX standards is the only worthy goal, and not also supporting existing customers with existing data. In any event, this claim is completely off-topic here. You need to approach the people who made those changes and talk to them directly. > > The whole point there is reaching consensus, not fighting. > > I was in hope that this will be already possible.

I don't know of anyone who was trying to fight with you, and I can't imagine how calling someone else's work "planless" is a useful way to seek cooperation. If there's a fight started somewhere, I don't think it's here. > We need cooperation and dicsussions between experts.
