It's advice that might be correct, but was so far over the top, in public, for such a trivial commit. That's why I got mad: it added no value and seemed nit picky and pretty. So I lost it. I shouldn't have, but I did.

Thank you both Rod and Warner for the reply.

Thank you Rod for noting that src-committers was a public list; I thought it was private to FreeBSD src committers.

I replied to this thread because while I agree with what you said, I felt that the reaction and forum were not in proportion to what happened :/.

More than a handful of threads lately have become heated to a point that concerns me about inter-developer relations and perception outside of the community. I have taken part in some of the discussions, potentially contributing to the overall issue.

I’m happy with the eventual outcome, but I hope that we, as a group, can do better next time to avoid these situations and be kinder to one another. Many of the recent issues (while important in aggregate) seem minor (in disaggregate).

All the best,
