Yes and I have sided with you on that as I said before often in a
minority of 2 or 3 people.
Ultimately you have to trust people and the community or have your own

I don't see what these how these two sentences are negating any of my
points. If anything they prove that other people are still free to
implement their workflows as they see fit at a higher level.

"surgical intervention" dude way to much rhetoric here.

s_conn is. A point you really have yet to produce a good counter
argument too.
