Closing the ticket means "we don't believe there is an issue, or we don't think it would be reasonable to fix it". If that's our judgement on the issue, how is it rude to close it? Also, this attitude. Who are the "we" in this case? And why send messages to people by shutting doors? > How about acknowledging that these waters are dark and murky and help > making things better? Well, how about? If Anatoly has a concrete proposal, surely he can propose a patch to make things better. Which is what he did. And instead of helpful ideas on how to improve his patch, the issue is closed. The acolytes have spoken.

I know that Anatoly himself is a subject of long history here, but I myself have felt lessening affinity to the dev community in recent years. It feels like it is increasingly shutting itself in.

Cheers,
