And there is really no need to write walls of text because of this change. Especially not when it's repeating generic arguments that don't even apply to this case.
I'm not sure if this is about my wall of text. I tried to de-escalate the situation, let me know what I could've done better. I don't mind writing walls of text, anyway.
No, not your wall in particular. But now that I thought about it, you could have moved the discussion elsewhere. It has nothing to do anymore with the original comment. Having such discussions on Gerrit makes it harder to work on Gerrit, I believe.
Ack. Now that I think of it, I agree I could've moved the discussion elsewhere. The mailing list, for example? I'll keep this in mind for the future (and hope I don't need to do it).
What I meant was generally the relation of this change and the initial comment to all the text people had to read after. This is and has for a long time been a (maybe the) weak spot of the project: People complain that the few experienced developers would become a bottleneck, at the same time they cause exactly that by keeping the experienced developers busy for naught. When I start a thread, I feel obliged to read all the following messages. Again, not pointing to any wall of text in particular, every one of them is somehow only a consequence of the message(s) before. It's the whole situation.
I too feel the same. If I don't read all the review comments, I often end up asking about things that were discussed already. Anyway, let's not belabor the point any further.
The "Especially not[...]" part was more about the claims that anything would have to be rebased (that doesn't) or re-tested (that most likely wasn't).
Yes, I'm not sure what I wanted to say with that.
