I disliked the post because I felt like it would create an annoying
and circular discussion, possibly on debian-devel.

Well look what happened... we went through about 50 sometimes long
messages, and maybe (maybe!) five were useful (thinking about the
syslog-ng bug found).

Can we please stop? Active Debian developers are considering just
leaving -devel because of discussions like these.
