I'm not the person you replied to, but your response misses their point: rollout issue aside, the approach is flawed by design. The feature author didn't address that at all.
The response as it is now sounds fair. Before that it was not.
As for whatever "had enough" he mentioned, I'm not sure whether he said it on purpose or genuinely misremembered.
Since that's how he remembers it, so be it. I can't be bothered to explain anymore.
Because "Even if this was an honest rollout mistake" this is a new addition, changes meaning quite a bit.
I disagree with what you wrote now partially (your comment on claude), but it does sound fair, and i wouldn't have written what i wrote.
