no.

technical discussions about improvment and bugs and such are valuable.

But thats not what iam talking about

with "eternal debates" i mean things like discussions about

* the value of tests (yes they are valuable), teh discussion here yet
  ended with some people refusing to add tests, and in another case
  removing sidedata tests on framecrc

* debates about at which point code can be in the master repository
  vs some external place that no user uses

* debates on guilt about booths

* debates on intelectual property rules

* debates on infrastructure

* debates on deleted twitter posts

* debates on what is in scope for ffmpeg and what should be rejected because it
doesnt belong here

* debates on slander

* debates on lies, infighting

* debates on VCSs

* debates on moving control over servers

* debates on infrastructure

* debates on who said what 9 years ago

* debates on hosting of servers that have been hosted at the same place for decades

* debates on recording and remote participation on meetings

* debates on someone leaving a booth to eat

* debates on jokes as if they where no joke while konwing they where a joke

* debates on removing code other community members intend to work on

* debates on peoples contributions out of spite to take revenge and block their work

* debates plain for the sake of debating

* debates if trolling should be forbidden on the ML

And i think we can add a few more pages, if we wanted but thats a sample of
what i meant and what i do not enjoy

thx
