  And indeed, I did read along.

  I have read those.  I'm pretty sure I read through them last year.  And I
definitely read through them again when the PSC made their call.  Okay, I
might have missed some recent additions thanks to the friendly interface
hiding so much, but I don't see off hand that I missed anything
significant.  Clue me in?

  The question I was responding to wasn't related to reading – it was " Why
didn't you respond there before we'd written it?"  And I took "there" to
refer to "the original github discussions about the feature".

  I will not respond "there".  If that means I'm not welcome "here", let me
know, and I'll just unsubscribe.
