I understand your concerns regarding the potential consequences of changing
this rule, and I acknowledge the importance of upholding the principles
that underpin our project's governance. However, I must express my
disappointment in the insinuation that I am acting in bad faith.

It is essential to approach discussions with mutual respect and trust,
assuming positive intent from all parties involved. Implying bad faith
undermines the spirit of constructive dialogue and collaboration that is
crucial for the progress of our community.

I must address the concerning implication of bad faith in your response.
Accusations of acting in bad faith are detrimental to our collaborative
efforts and undermine the mutual respect necessary for productive discourse
within our community.

It is imperative that we engage in discussions with goodwill and a
presumption of positive intent from all parties involved. Such insinuations
hinder our ability to work together effectively and erode the trust
essential for maintaining a healthy community environment.

While I value your dedication to upholding the integrity of our project's
rules, I urge us to refrain from casting doubt on each other's motivations.
Let us refocus our efforts on constructive dialogue aimed at finding
solutions that serve the best interests of the FFmpeg project.

Thank you for your understanding, and I remain committed to fostering a
culture of respect and collaboration within our community.
