I understand how you feel, this is not exactly a clean situation or an easy |
| 13 |
one. |

And I already told you before that this would happen whenever prefix would |
| 15 |
have been stable enough. Unfortunately you not only hidden prefix from most |
| 16 |
of the possible users/developers, but also never provided a status to the |
| 17 |
other fellow developers :/ |

As I said, you've hidden it, you "stole" it from the eyes of who needed to |
| 23 |
know about it, and now you're stuck in having to bring it in again, slowly, |
| 24 |
so that it can become the norm. It is bureaucracy mostly? Yes. Could have |
| 25 |
been avoided? Unlikely. Could have been solved more easily? Sure. |
