> I don't think anyone is complaining about well written fully functioning patches, that break no existing features or OSes. While most wouldn’t be complaining, I think any maintainer should absolutely feel free to refuse a well-written, fully working patch for any reason. For example, that patch may be too large or too complex, thus might become a liability at some point in the future. Maybe managing user expectations is a priority for the maintainer. Maybe they wish to reduce support burden because they’d like spend more time with their family. All that should be deemed normal and acceptable. It can feel disappointing (numerous pull requests that I wrote have been denied or ignored), but I think it’s important that we, as a community, normalize that.
