Hi Phillip and Junio!

I admit I’m trying to expedite the process. Especially given what
feels like endless review cycles, and some frustration that this topic
was queued for ’master’ and now it feels like we’re miles away again.
I recognize that this mindset is not a good collaborative attitude, so
I’ll try to step back and re-adjust my mindset.

I am used to a work process where moving fast is paramount, and good
enough is good enough in terms of code quality. I’m not seeing a
healthy code review process here — any feedback halts the process
completely. Should it really take months to merge a topic?

I realize I'm too impatient for asynchronous communication, I get very
stressed about the idea of getting out-of-sync. When Phillip
graciously wrote a lot of code for me, I wanted to bring us up to
speed as soon as possible so his changes were not wasted if someone
else also started reviewing v11 in parallel. (In this particular case
I went back to v10, applied the fixups and then fit my v11 work on top
of that.)

I have v13 already in the pipeline, but I won’t send it now.
