This feels like an attempt to suggest that I have made a demand when I
have not. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I
suggest avoiding language like this in the future because it seems like
a false accusation.
If the above was written in good faith, it is at best a false
dichotomy. As Zbigniew said elsewhere, just because someone does the
work does not mean that the distribution is obligated to accept it.
I think we have seen compelling arguments as to why the distribution
should disable modularity by default, and so that is what I and others
are proposing. We gave it a fair chance.
The question remains however, why not just use the time tested
strategies that other distributions have employed to address the "too
fast, too slow" problem for over a decade? I say that as a helpful
suggestion, not as a demand - it would save those who are doing the
work a lot of work, and it would avoid the contentious threads that
happen over and over again. Plus, other distributions have proven that
it works.
