Hi Axel,

I understand that you are unsatisfied with this proposal and that is 
fair. Though from my point of view, your email makes it hard for me to 
want to engage with you to find a solution that would (ideally) satisfy 
your desires as well as solve the underlying problem that Steve wants to 
have solved.

Notably, nowhere in your email can I see any attempt from you to say 
"Could we find an alternative where single binary source packages can 
still leverage this short cut, because I find it very valuable?" in a 
neutral or constructive manner.

Instead, it feels to me like you are dumping your frustration on me and 
have given up on working with me in solving the problem in the best way 
for all parties (including you!).
    I find emails like this super draining on my motivation. I have no 
interest in spending my volunteer time working with people that writing 
emails phrased such that they make me feel like that person has given up 
on me.


I ask that you rephrase your email in a way where I do not feel you have 
given up on working with me, if you want me to engage any further with 
you. I hope we can agree on that minimum baseline for future communication.


~Niels
