God that comment section is embarrassing to read.
Most that become memes or get wider exposure to the open internet peanut gallery usually are.
The real clue here is the cropped top line "refactor...."
"Here's a huge mostly unnecessary format change that incidentally loses some functionality I don't care about".
Followed by "why won't anyone accept my contributions?!"
But it looks like the changes were merged?
Holy shit. This is weirder than I realized.
I'm just realizing that the person submitting the change was demanding that their lost feature be re-added, and the repo owner decided to YOLO the change into master. Lol.
