I don't know your PR, but the way this is helped in corporate-land is with very small PRs and feature flags. Some maintainers are a lot more of a pain in the ass than others, though.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThis is great when it works, but I'm personally not convinced that it works for every change. Some things are genuinely just big changes, and doing them piecemeal is (IMO) actually impractical. Granted, this is more likely to be true with refactoring then features or bugfixes. All of which is not to say that it's not a preferred style when it does work. And as a policy choice it is perfectly reasonable to simply decree that the codebase will never be refactored at that scale.
