Thank you Murray for the detailed response. For the record I have no problem with the rejection of the complaint under RFC 6557 and I have no intention to appeal.
As I said only a few minutes ago, I fully believe that a solution is possible, and I would like to help with the process (which may include updates to theory and the RFC).
However, a consensus cannot start with the bad faith move of releasing 2021b as is.
I agree that 2021b should be released without the disputed changes. To avoid repo-churn on main, I would suggest releasing 2021b from a branch made before the disputed changes in May, with the recent non-controversial changes cherry-picked from main. An appropriate NEWS entry can be added on main to explain. Philip -- Philip Paeps Senior Reality Engineer Alternative Enterprises
