@meowski @lain @anderseknert A user can take back the changes, observe the logic, test it adequately (and show their tests & results) and determine whether indeed it should be added or not.

This helps user agency and also means that someone with some manner of accountability (if only by reputation) is responsible for the code.

@meowski @lain @anderseknert There were unexplained changes with possible performance consequences also. It was not a more targeted diff.

So not only was it undermining user agency & freedom by preventing teaching experiences and failing to explain (and polluting the project with its proprietary nature), it was also possibly producing harmful results with no demonstrated tests.

(Yes, replacing the transposition was faster, but that's not all it did.)

@vitalis Eh, deeply-embedded bureaucratic tools tend to stick around ("too much trouble to mess with, just ignore it").

Time is generally a bitch to handle. I don't want to be the unfortunate one handling that.
