tl;dr Language elitist salty that project owners don't want them to refactor in more bugs.
Am I misunderstanding? I thought there were existing bugs caused by unclear lifetimes, and adding a simple C wrapper would prevent those, and make Rust Interop easier at the same time? Which they eventually did, but it took one year?
Why does fixing bugs and making the API more solid = "refactor in more bugs"?
Because that's the inevitability when major changes are introduced, especially when solely for purposes not directly related to bugfixes.
It says "When I tried to upstream minor fixes to the C code to make the behaviour more robust". That doesn't sound like a major changes to me and related to some bugs 🤷♂️
