Which is not necessarily the wrong choice. But by leaving no documentation a lot of the time spend on writing the patches is wasted since the knowledge gained is just lost, maintainers need to "reverse-engineer" them etc. > Not to mention the swathes of annoyed developers And let's not turn this into a conflict, I just tried to give clear feedback why I am unhappy with some of these patches even though they may be worthwhile still. > Hopefully some of that also captures reasons others feel unhappy (and it would be nice if the concerns could be raised more constructively, though I do acknowledge it can be hard). _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
