Simply not true. In any such project, major proposals first get discussed as issues and community either vets a plan or comes up with an alternative before more solid steps such as PRs start. What is being done here is clearly trying to downplay a major change as a minor one. There are loads of blog posts and discussions on why this isn't a minor change, especially when the author of the PR himself admits the goal is to comply with age verification laws. I will not get into that here. Suffice to say, at best, this is a political statement of the kind "we are ok to comply with surveillance and will show minimal resistance". Yet they try to play this as if they are just changing a typo in the documents. Thanks to Lennart for his life long contributions to FOSS, despite him at some point joining Microsoft, the antithesis of everything that is FOSS. I am sure many things he did shaped how the open-source developed on a world-wide level. This still does not mean that his reaction to everything will be correct. To me this was more like a "fuck all, this was a minor change, don't care what you say" attitude, which in my world-view has place in propriety software world not FOSS.
