[FFmpeg-devel] Politics

[Soft Works]

Good Morning,

yesterday, it happened for the 4th and 5th times that another developer
called my patchset a “hack”.

One time I didn’t ask, but in all other four cases I had distinctly and
insistingly asked for specifics about how the one has come to that
conclusion and what would be the reasons for considering the patchset
to be a “hack”.

In none of the 4 cases, anybody was able to give even a single reason.
My assessment is that when a skilled developer is unable to explain
such opinions, these are possibly not one’s own opinions. Given that
it happened 5 times, that turns possibly into a “very likely” IMO.

It makes me sad to see that seemingly somebody is doing politics
against my patchset behind the scenes.

When there are others, thinking my patchset would be a “hack” but
cannot explain why – it might be time to get your own opinion.

Kind regards,
