   Any reasonably complicated project has some pre-processing that has to be done for a source release. e.g. creating the configure script for autotools repos, or building the documentation. These steps can and should be automated, but github

    That completely mis-characterizes Maxwell and Blockstream's position. It isn't that "the rules are the rules and we got to live with them." Rather larger, slower to validate, slower to relay blocks creates centralization

    Having been in this position before, I can tell you that maintaining large patch sets increases friction against submitting anything upstream. Even if this was a Google-only CPU (it's not), that'd still be an argument for mergin

    Which is why they lost me, and other posters in this thread as customers. Functionality >> design. Which is a shame because OS X is a nice operating system. I would like to use it.
