And you don't have similar or higher maintainers to match any of them. If there's a consensus, I'm afraid it doesn't really go your way. So if you want to get this through, I'd suggest to at least try to convince them or continue the discussion. And before you reach that point, sending more versions is only going to frustrate both ends of the discussion. Maxime
