@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilWell, at least all the filesystems I know use a key-value representation of directories, you can't have the same key twice10:04:38
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64I mean the computer doesn't really care where the file is10:06:10
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64and organizing things by a way that classifies them beyond "this one's name starts with NE" seems like it's more useful to people who use the repo10:07:55
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64 * and organizing things by a way that classifies them beyond "this one's name starts with NE" seems like it's more useful to humans10:08:19

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilWell, RFC 140 is accepted now, we can't change that10:10:27
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64yeah not much that can be done now10:10:46
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64Redacted or Malformed Event10:11:08
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64I hope it all goes well in the end10:11:34
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI really think most people do agree with how it's going. I don't think there was a single person arguing for keeping the directory structure throughout the RFC10:13:00
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Being able to tell new contributors "if you want to package foo, put it here" is very nice 10:13:51
@poweruser64:matrix.orgPowerUser64Maybe #146 can help remedy some of my frustrations10:15:14
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusI think cateories should be a list in the meta field rather than a folder stuff is in10:16:01

In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org

Yep, the discussion skipped the contents of the RFC entirely and directly jumped to the bike shedding part ^^

@syphoxy:matrix.org@syphoxy:matrix.orgRFC 146 is really promising and I hope it goes through as quickly as RFC 140 did.14:17:09
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgI'm not optimistic about that. 140 enjoyed a wide community consensus which is otherwise pretty rare15:26:47
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI'm tending towards accepting 146, it's not bad. However I also think it's a distraction from other problems that would be more important to fix17:24:12
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilLosing the categorisation seems very minor in comparison17:28:02
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilUnrelated to that, an observation relating to PR CI checks in general: Aren't they kind of flawed? Because the main branch continuously updates, but the CI checks for each PR aren't re-run17:32:53
@k900:0upti.meK900They are17:33:07
@k900:0upti.meK900Ideally we'd have bors17:33:11
@k900:0upti.meK900But it's hard17:33:28
