Thats sadly a personal matter. As its introduction had 0 to do with the Type 10 or any outstanding issues with it. Which is what I have been trying to explain to avoid these misconceptions that lead to “bitterness”.
It wasn’t added to replace or resolve anything with Type 10, but for entirely different reasons.
Of course! I’m sorry, I believe two topics were mixed here; I know that Leopard 2RI’s introduction is separate from Type 10’s issues, since, well, Leopard 2RI was introduced in 2026 and Type 10’s isssues have existed since 2021.
My talk about bitterness was about how such bug has remained for 5 years, not about sweet Leopard 2RI’s introduction! But I understand the topics are relatively close, since many people do feel like there’s a correlation between them.
In any case, please know that not one bit of my bitterness is directed towards you; all of us view you as the great CM that you are and I know that you are NOT to be blamed for these issues, as it would be shooting the messenger! You do a great job at communication within your possibilities; always replying, always quick and always as comprehensive as you can be; and we know that development and bug fixing is not in your hands.
I point this out again because I know that it may come across as “attacks” to you when I bring up these bug report related matters, so just in case, to clear up any potential misunderstanding. You are great! o7
