It is what came across.  There are thousands of other software projects, but
Asterisk is the only one which is on-topic.  Please refrain from talking up
another software project.  The response would be the same if you had engaged
in talking up SQL Ledger or Firefox.  None of those projects are on-topic.

There was no rejection of better ways to do things.  The discussion from
which this tangent originated was very specifically about improving the coding
guidelines to be more clear when it comes to locking order.  I don't
understand why you had to cross-post.

I think your memory deceives you, but in any case, it is not relevant to this
discussion.
