What critics? Has anyone actually criticized or opposed discontinuing the
barebin distribution? Straw man argument.
I spoke out against your argument for _how you know_ that users don't use
barebins. I made it clear that I do not use barebins myself, and I do not in
any way oppose discontinuing their distribution.
It's the decision process that I spoke to: deciding what users want/need/use
based on emacs-devel list activity, instead of on a user poll or the proposed
analysis of download stats.
If you want to know what users use, ask them.
Or look directly at what they download.
If. And I hope you do.
(That said, I do not take the position that whatever users might think they want
should determine the direction that Emacs Dev should go. That would be tailism.
But there is a difference between (a) leading instead of following and (b)
ignoring those you are trying to lead.)
