It cannot be anything else, when "technical suggestions" boil down to making the job of a fellow developer 1000 times harder for no good technical reasons, just because of "oh no, not that again" kind of irrationalities. The attack could be unintended, but any reasonable grown-up will realize that this is the result. > We are talking about process restrictions that you want to continue > to impose on the code of all developers The restrictions are minuscule. In my latest suggestion, rename only 3 *.m4 files, in a way that still keeps descriptive names. I wonder how much time will be wasted on bykeshedding that one. > We're trying to minimize or eliminate your burden, but you seem > unwilling to consider the slightest change. I suggested a compromise solution a few hours ago, which does, I hope, constitute a change, but have yet to see any response.
