Watson)? I had ideas I wanted to share, and I imagine others have ideas that might be worth considering before pushing big changes. However, I assumed there wouldn't be massive template changes before the attempt to get the repo ready for 16.0, which is why I kept them to myself for now.</div><div><br></div><div>It seemed reasonable that these discussions would've happened on the mailing list before making changes to the stable templates, which is why I didn't create a thread about my handling of crate files and the resulting SlackBuild (my script also needed some refinement, which I hadn't felt rushed to do since I assumed big template changes would've only occurred once SBo went into development mode for the 16.0 release). My implementation might not be the best, but maybe the one in the templates isn't the best either and pushing it out to the community might've resulted in an even better implementation. However, adding the version to the templates that was added without discussion shoehorns us into that implementation when better options might exist.</div><div><br></div><div>The fact there are additional changes needed to these templates for fixes that were overlooked further solidifies that big changes like these should be sent out to the masses for review before implementation. The issues might've been caught before there were official template updates. I didn't reply to the email about the changes to the templates (even though I was really frustated when I saw it) simply because it seemed like it had already been decided by the admins, but knowing there are addtional "fixes" that need to be made, it reinvigorated my desire to vent my frustration that the majority of these changes were made without community involvement.</div><div><br></div><div>None of this criticism is directed specifically towards <span style="background-color:transparent">fourtysixandtwo, it was simply the email I replied to after finding out there were going to be additional changes to fix the changes to the templates.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Jeremy, aka bassmadrigal</div></div></div>
