Hey.

Author of toml-ts-mode here.

I originally implemented it as a prog-mode derived mode (because for the 
same reasons as reiterated above, that made sense to me).

I was however asked by the more senior Emacs maintainers to make it 
text-mode instead.

So while it was not my decision, I'd just like to point out that there 
/was/ a decision-making process involved when text-mode was decided.

If someone were to change this back to prog-mode before we ship Emacs 
29, I would have no objections to that, but I have no authority to 
mandate such a change either :)
