> Great job Go. Hat tip and respect for this

Whoah. Easy there cowboy.

It was not opt-in when originally announced.

After an extended, shall we say, "lively" discussion on Github[1], they did the right thing and made it opt-in.

(N.B. The discussion was heavily moderated and redacted, it was even more "lively" at the time.)

Are you opposed to the process by which discussion can initiate a transition from negative state to positive state?

Seems healthy to me.

To me, even proposing the (extremely obviously) negative state in the first place is a sign of bad faith on the part of the proposer.

If they proposed kicking puppies twice a day, and after some discussion decided to not do that would we all be applauding their decision?

Ridiculous. Only you believe those two are equivalent.

I don't believe those two things are equivalent, that isn't the purpose of an analogy.
