This is the wrong place for this conversation though.

Most issues have been manually labelled as stale rather than automated and closure will be manual too, so we have time to think.

A better place to ask would be on the new (since 2010) coreutils user mailing list.

The RFC repo (where the reaction was strongly positive) is the place for discussion about what features to add; the decision has been made.

Discussion is not necessary, but could be useful for critiquing a pattern. This would be useful for people who are proposing a pattern to the community or for people who want to gather feedback on an experiment.

It's really useful if your PR relates to an outstanding issue, so please reference it in your PR, or create an explanatory one for discussion. In many cases, features are absent for a reason.

Further discussion can take place when this has a PR.

GitHub Issues are preferred for discussion of this specification.

Yarn also has an RFC process which may offer a better discussion platform compared to this GitHub issue.

This is not a Q&A section. Comments placed here should be pointed towards suggestions on improving the documentation or server, and may be removed again by our moderators if they are either implemented or considered invalid/off-topic.

You may receive better information if you ask your question in the help forum for that topic

I'm happy to try to reach agreement with you, but this isn't the right place. Feel free to invite me to a more appropriate forum.
