Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Performance, 3.8 versus 4.2

Indeed, but the rest of that quote is "and accepts consequences for those
decisions".
I do not believe that the broad community is disinterested in helping 4.x in

down and to do this more safely. It would not be wise for the platform team
to disregard these calls.

What about e4-RCP folks outnumber the IDE nerds significantly (amongst
active contributors) so it's there call.
