Axel Beckert:
Hi,I am looking at making `debian/foo` an error by default in debhelper compat 15 (triggering a warning from compat 14).Uargh, yet another bad decision which makes one want to no more using debhelper. :-(
Hi Axel,I understand that you are unsatisfied with this proposal and that is fair. Though from my point of view, your email makes it hard for me to want to engage with you to find a solution that would (ideally) satisfy your desires as well as solve the underlying problem that Steve wants to have solved.
Notably, nowhere in your email can I see any attempt from you to say "Could we find an alternative where single binary source packages can still leverage this short cut, because I find it very valuable?" in a neutral or constructive manner.
Instead, it feels to me like you are dumping your frustration on me and have given up on working with me in solving the problem in the best way for all parties (including you!). I find emails like this super draining on my motivation. I have no interest in spending my volunteer time working with people that writing emails phrased such that they make me feel like that person has given up on me.
I ask that you rephrase your email in a way where I do not feel you have given up on working with me, if you want me to engage any further with you. I hope we can agree on that minimum baseline for future communication.
