Personally, I don't think that "you're doing it wrong" by calling the behaviour previously expected to be a bug is a good excuse, and in fact is an example of being user-hostile. Imagine being on the receiving end. When the documentation says one thing but the actual behaviour is different, people will sensibly follow reality.
- hitekker 3y agoThe GP seems to have a quoted a commenter in the SQLite thread, who not a maintainer or a representative of the community. The actual maintainer wrote: > This bug in prior versions of SQLite was unknown to the developers. If I had known about it, I would have done something about it. I probably would have tried to preserve the buggy behavior - to maintain "bug compatibility". But I didn't know. That comment is much more patient, and less easily misconstrued by drive-by commenters.
- sverhagen 3y agoThe person you responded to also didn't claim it was the maintainers who said it. This passer-by is still user-hostile and may still infuriate the person submitting the ticket who are trying to get their stuff to work again.
