Both rejections and nearly all conditional acceptance conditions revolved around the state of the documentation and naming. I have consolidated these conditions and related discussion on the GitHub issue tracker, rather than reiterating them here.

I agree, which is why in the next paragraph I have:

> This leads us to the singular condition of acceptance being to  address the documentation related issues. Since this is a rather subjective requirement, we will be running a mini review of the library documentation in a few weeks.

The conditions and rejections from reviewers were nearly all documentation related and hit many of the sections. These will serve as a guide for improvement, but they are not a punch list to acceptance in this case. The mini review is the better tool for assessing completion of this subjective condition, rather than me unilaterally deciding for example the reference section has been sufficiently improved.
