Is this article addressing a strawman? I certainly raised an eyebrow at their use of the name but is there actually a "controversy"? And if so, why not be similarly upset over YOLOv4? That edition confused me just as much as v5, given that neither one came from Reddie.

It's probably referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23478151.

Reddie seems to approve of v4, but not v5.

The article gave me the impression that pjreddie hasn't yet commented on whether he approves v5 or not. Or, did I miss something?

What I mean is that he did not make a public statement that he approves of it. In other words, as far as we know v4 was created with his approval, but v5 was created without his approval.

Annoying characteristic of standard English language is the spread of the negation. “He doesn’t seem to approve” is the same as “He seems to not approve” which is the same as “he seems to disapprove”. Funny that you represented absence of approval and other guy interpreted presence of disapproval. I blame the language. And society. And an uncaring god.
