Gitlab lied, parent was calling out the lies.

Everybody should call out bad arguments, regardless of rather or not those arguments have a impact in the end.

>who cares what the other reasons are?

People who don't like liars.

>In your critique of their argument, I don’t see a single reason why they should use MySQL.

1: This isn't even about rather or not they should use mysql. This is strictly about rather or not they should support mysql. I am not sure why you are bringing up using mysql.

2: Parent was never arguing in favor of mysql, their entire comment is strictly about how the arguments put out by gitlab were lies. I am not sure why you are bringing this up at all.

>I admit I have a sensitivity to knee-jerk “can’t you just” comments

You should work on that.
