Sure, but also consider that a reasonable compromise was found in
the end, and that the move as a whole was a great success, and was
complemented by many existing Eglot users.  Dmitry is the sole
exception I know of, for other reasons being discussed in a side thread,
Dmitry isn't even a user yet, rather a provider of very important
infrastructure to Eglot.

So I get that reading a large energetic discussion is very
exciting but not need to lose track of the forest just
because you spot a particular branch of a tree catch fire from time
to time.

No bridges were burned and before and since that discussion much
more interesting things have been happening to Eglot in Emacs, and
the participants  in that discussion have resumed the healthy
collaboration of always.  Even though that may be more boring, I
would focus on that when considering moving a package to core.
