Incremental Update: Minimal Progress — Consensus Forming on Pragmatic Fix
The two new messages are brief and contain no new technical content, patches, or architectural arguments. They represent a social/procedural resolution of the previously-documented disagreement between Marco and Xuneng regarding the polling approach.
Summary
-
Marco (May 6): Acknowledges Xuneng's concern about polling latency but argues the pragmatic trade-off is justified for a backpatchable bug fix. Explicitly scopes a better design (e.g., event-driven notification) as a separate future effort.
-
Xuneng (May 16): Concedes the point — accepts that having the fix (even with polling) is better than leaving the bug unfixed. Indicates willingness to review further ("I'll look into it").
