--- Comment #25 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Warner Losh from comment #24)

Release happens when "the llvm developers" decide something "is ready" for =
wide
consumption.

> When the graphics folks tell you it isn't ready, it isn't ready.

Before you've started with FUD they were silent for the whole duration. x11@
was in CC as requested in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk.

> If it's not ready, timing doesn't matter. Please start listening to your =
peers.

Assignee decides when patch "is ready" to land. At the time there were no
blockers and maintainer timeout was reached. After landing all regressions =
were
promptly fixed. I don't think I've made any mistakes.

> Bland assertions that we need to do this,

Assignee decides what work and how it's done. There were several issues
(confusion and blind spots) but it's a net positive. I'll try to do better =
in
future.

> or that a week is enough time are flat out wrong.

2019-09-20 (landing) - 2019-08-06 (review request) =3D 45 days.

> This really needs to be backed out

Why? I need a technical rationale.

> and you need to adopt a more conservative approach to pushing things in.

Provide more details, including how to treat bad actors. My approach works =
fine
elsewhere i.e., wherever the graphics team is not involved.

> You are literally making a lot of people very mad at you for not

I'm awaiting brooks@ reply to shed light on what led to planning/prioritiza=
tion
failure. Otherwise, it looks like a one-off misunderstanding.

I do listen but don't blindly follow unless requested by the authority in
charge. "Smart people" is ambiguous term, those who excel at coding may not=
 be
good at negotiating. Obviously, you have a lot more such experience but the
current attitude falls short.
