Just because someone say something on the conference doesn't mean it's a law. Events are first and foremost a space for contributors to share what they want to say, not to showcase some official direction of the project or anything. > and the main reason I made this post is to try put pressure You didn't put pressure, you have caused them distress over something they can't even control.
