Comment (by youknowriad):

 > the only argument I’m holding to is that it’s incumbent upon myself to
 perform due-diligence to avoid breaking things for others, and if I do, to
 work to undo that damage so it doesn’t needlessly harm everyone else.

 I understand and I agree. The reality is any change can break something, I
 hope that I've shown in this ticket that I've followed and fixed all of
 what has been raised. There are probably some remaining things like you
 said, and I'm happy that you're chiming in to try to find solutions. If
 reverting partially is the only solution, so be it, but reverting also has
 tradeoffs that I mention above (introduce another kind of a breakage IMO).
 So maybe we can try to find a solution that keeps both things in place.

 Also I have to say that I have been working almost solo on this for months
 and it's depressing to be met with only resistance to chance and not
 support and openness to what this unlocks. It is totally possible that I'm
 not receiving this the way I should be, but the reactions are all about
 "protecting" and less about thinking about achieving the vision. This is
 not encouraging at all to keep pushing the boundaries of possibilities of
 WordPress, we'll just be protecting our "fields" and leaving progress for
 others.

 It's fair to say that I'm also a bit burnout of this at this point.
