Thank you for your prompt response, Nicolas. I appreciate the opportunity
to delve deeper into our governance rules and their interpretation within
the FFmpeg community.

While I understand that you're referencing the existing rules that we've
collectively agreed upon, I believe it's crucial for us to periodically
review and refine these rules to ensure they remain aligned with our
evolving community values and goals.

The rules we've agreed upon serve as a foundation for our governance
structure, providing guidelines for decision-making and ensuring fairness
and transparency in our processes. However, as our community grows and
evolves, it's natural for interpretations and perspectives to shift,
necessitating occasional reassessment of these rules.

Your reminder about the importance of adhering to the established rules is
valid, and I share your commitment to upholding them. However, I also
believe that our rules should be flexible enough to accommodate diverse
viewpoints and adapt to changing circumstances.

Therefore, I propose that we engage in a collaborative effort to revisit
and clarify our existing rules. By fostering open dialogue and soliciting
input from all members of the community, we can ensure that our governance
framework reflects the collective wisdom and values of our community.

Furthermore, this process of review and refinement will help address any
ambiguities or discrepancies in our rules, promoting greater clarity and
understanding among all stakeholders. It will also provide an opportunity
to incorporate new insights and best practices that may have emerged since
the rules were initially established.

In conclusion, I appreciate your reminder about the importance of adhering
to our agreed-upon rules. However, I believe that revisiting and clarifying
these rules is a proactive step toward strengthening our governance
processes and ensuring the continued success and sustainability of the
FFmpeg project.

Thank you for your dedication to the community, and I look forward to
engaging in productive discussions to enhance our governance framework.
