Thanks for this more thorough opinion.
I have expressed myself forcefully, and perhaps failed to address @Str4d 's frustration. I turned to my own frustration instead.
It would have been better if I had taken the time to survey our existing projects during the Zashi Pivot, and marked this work as Won’t Complete. It would also have been better if we had a more formal protocol, or coordinator, such that this sort of curation would have been assured rather than left to the discretion of whoever happened to be aware.
Per your comments about the specifics of the PR, I am confident that @Str4d’s comments are useful.
I agree that significant name changes are often best discussed in advance. Repetitive changes (like name changes) should always be carried out as a separate concern (at least commit, and probably PR). Characterizing it as etiquette makes sense to me. I will take that on board.
Getting this kind of feedback from @Str4d was part of my motivation for cultivating this collaboration. That this collaboration did not move forward further is a regrettable consequence of the Zashi Pivot. Had it proceeded I am confident that these points and more would have rapidly been internalized and expressed in newer commits.
Per the bus-throwing… I wrote in frustration. I am coresponsible for negative affects.
Thanks again for taking the time to contribute to the discussion.
