Don't you think this is something that should have been debated openly first?
That's what this post is about. Please note the big Feedback Wanted header. Nothing has been deployed yet. I'm tempted to add a snarky comment about pitchforks, but alas, I have refrained. ;)
Especially given this:
Seems quite clear this is an opportunity for discussion. Steemit is doing on a good job on this one, let's acknowledge that.
Agreed. We've already seen Dan close issues as "won't fix" when people disagreed with the approach. I've been watching the releases and the discussions and I'm quite happy with what I'm seeing so far.
The feature set of a release candidate is usually not up for discussion. They are usually just a final chance to root out any bugs before the release goes live... If the intention is to put this up for discussion, they picked a strange part of the development cycle for it.
You may be right. I interpreted the "feedback wanted" and one-week delay as wanting input but the presentation is confusing and could be done more clearly.
It's a release candidate....
What are your expectations for communication beyond the core development team? What could they do to make you happier? Ridiculous is a strong word choice. Seems accusatory to me as in "worthy of ridicule." I just don't understand where all that negativity comes from.
