Hey,
Thanks to all for voicing your opinions.
My observations:
* The community is split on this topic
* Both camps have people that strongly defend their respective views
* The above two points are unlikely to change
* People are getting upset due to -1 for things that are by some considered
nitpicking
* People are getting upset because others are not willing to fix their -1
remarks since they consider them to be nitpicks
* Commits that are otherwise fine are getting stuck because of this
Loose from how you choose to interpret and deal with those, let's try to be
tolerant of each other, keep and eye on the bigger picture, and work
towards what is really important as a community.
Cheers

Jeroen, I'm 100% in agreement with this. I thank you for starting this
conversation and surfacing this issue.
I saw some advice recently that if you're trying to meet someone
halfway, you should do a little more than 50%, like 60 or 65%, to
account for heat loss. :-)
