You know just as well as I do that this thread is the most discussion
that this mailing list has seen in a very long time. Sebastian wants
to make some progress. I see no problem.

"significant" is so subjective though.

It is clear that you are displeased because you think you did not
have a chance to oppose the change before it was made. I can
understand, but in reality I doubt the one opposing voice would
have made a difference.

This is a given for all project. Not sure why you think anyone needs
to be reminded of this.

I would set some kind of notification up, so that response does not
depend on me checking something.

I disagree and hope that most others do as well, so that development
will continue instead of being stuck on senseless arguing with you.

What about my suggestion to fix the actual problem, asciidoc
dependencies, did you bother looking into that yet? (I haven't
because I don't feel at all strongly.)

Thanks!
