Perhaps the clearest indicator that the #NixOS governance issues are not going to be resolved through discussions on the forum: the fact that for the past several years, you can reliably sort nearly every post into one of two 'camps' by looking at who hit the like button, and the exact lists for each camp have barely changed.
Likes aren't a reliable indicator for much, but it sure shows that minds are not being changed, and that it's a much more fundamental conflict that probably isn't going to be resolved until one camp just *leaves* the project.
