it's not weird at all?

randomly reverting two years of things across dozens of repositories will break them, almost definitely make them unbuildable, but also make them unreleasable in case any other change needs to happen soon.

all of their code needs to be audited to prove it shouldn't be deleted, of course, but that can't happen in the next ten minutes.

I swear that HN has the least-thought-through hot takes of any media in the world.
