Most of the main objections are mentioned in [1]. As far as I can tell, none of them were adequately addressed. > I wasn't refusing to make a change, but I have taken a lot of effort to > explain the reasons for that necessity. > I did that in several chats on IRC, on the ML, and recently, I have > written > an article especially to address that concern and better explain the > background: > > https://github.com/softworkz/SubtitleFilteringDemos/issues/1 > > It remained unresponded (but maybe unnoticed?). Sorry, but all explanations I've seen from you are walls of text from which I was never able to extract a solid argument that is not circular and does not leap to unsupported conclusions. And it is not just me, as far as I can tell, none of the others were convinced either. Frankly, you write too many words. A good argument about something like this should fit in a paragraph. Maybe followed by some extended explanations and clarifications, but the core of it should be quite short and right at the top, not buried under heaps of introductory remarks and examples. And if you cannot boil down your argument to a few words then maybe it's not a very strong one. > > On Mon, 22 Aug 2022, at 14:18, Anton Khirnov wrote: > ... > > (though it's not so easy to tell in a 200-email thread) > > Yes that's true.

You are the author of this set, it is _your_ job to keep track of what has and has not been addressed. And if you want reviews, you should also try to make things easy to review. > This is not further actionable without having a list of specific objections. > When nobody responds, we need to assume that there aren't any left. Or maybe people just got tired of repeating the same objections to the same patches being submitted again and again.
