Probably important for context - there was no official announcement, so no, it's not like I ignored wishes or direction, it was presented to me after the fact.
And (as I mentioned) I'm not mad at policy. I'm mad that:
- that was after fact
- that policy itself is stupid (even if temporary), because it invites under-the-skin slop (though I doubt anyone would go to contribute to core Emacs code slop)
- that actual talks are happening behind closed doors
- and I had lost my time
That's the conclusion. Direction is fine, yet given that I cannot use the tools in my toolset I'm moving on with my work elsewhere (at least until that's settled).
