Hello everyone.
I've been following this email thread quite closely and without participating as I was hoping to keep opinions to myself --- I don't think I have much questions other than what's already asked for Konstantin --- and make up my mind for voting.
It's clear that it is time to take a step back and stop fanning the flames. We are all passionate people, and sometimes this passion leads us to the type of arguments we are having right now. I agree with Eli, this is not a toy operating system and there are things at stake. However, I'm completely convinced that no ill intention is coming from everyone involved, and that, if we consider this optic, it's clear that this is just a non-technical quarrel that should've been shelved a while ago.
Personally, I think this is a good opportunity to tone it down for a second, leave the 10+ emails behind us and try to go back to the things that make this community friendly and welcoming.
Baptiste, Konstantin, Eli, and Doug. Please take a deep breath and extend a friendly handshake. I'm sure everyone else following this exchnage thinks this is the reasonable way to move forward.

I appreciate the sentiment, but Please don't downplay known toxic behavior that needs to come to an end. That doesn't help the cause of making this a friendly and welcoming community. Konstantin has clearly extended an olive branch time and time again. -- Best, polyzen
