Hmm, this sounds very wrong to me:

Please explain why releasing 0.8.3 would be a mistake and why 0.8.4
solves that? It's just impossible to review such a big diff that
targeted fixes are preferred in general...

It sounds a bit strange that you won't accept responsability while you
didn't explain why 0.8.3 is not worth releasing.

I can assure you that nothing is lost already and that I try to be
reasonable.
