An apology

An apology

[Felix Lechner via Development of GNU Guix and the GNU System distribution.]

Hi Andrew,

Please accept my apologies for sending the message below. Aside from
being impolite, my note was also ill-timed given your newly-won status
as a committer. I could have hardly been more tone-deaf. If at all, I
should have written in private.

While not a great explanation, I occasionally spend time with
scientists and engineers working on weapons. Over the years, I have
become cynical about the progress of technology. It was not the first
time that I have been vocal in technical forums about embracing life
rather than taking it.

I felt sorry for several weeks and hope you can forgive me. May this
follow-up in public remove any stain from
your good name.

Thanks for Guix Home!

Sincerely,
Felix

I have likewise used those words to describe concluding reports or to
communicate lessons learned, but upon reflection I now prefer
"incident summary" or "debrief". [1] Since both of my suggested
replacements are associated with the military, they are also not great
examples of favoring life over death, but at least the parties are not
yet in the morgue, so there is hope.

Long live Guix!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner

No worries, I'm not offended or anything :) I just have a huge email
backlog and didn't allocate the time to reply yet, sorry.  Also, have an
additional time wastes due to unfortunate events happening in my country
and for now I usually read, mark as todo and skip messages, which
don't block anyone.
