"Obsessed" and "pedantry" don't help at all in this discussion, please
try to be fair to the people you discuss with and avoid adding
unnecessary drama.

If you don't help me reach consensus, I will just forget about this

Also, if people cannot find ways to improve the tools that support the
new process, maybe it's better to stay with the old one for the time
being?
