I'm glad you're joking on that, bringing up what seems to be quite an
important problem to me; because as you said it happened already several
times and I think it really slows down smgl's evolving.
So, what I propose here is that we think about a formal way of solving
this kind of issue. I mean for example why don't we just call an
official vote when there is a clear divergence of opinions between 2
(or more) devs?
For this precise case, since someone clearly suggested that he'd prefer
the usual long options syntax instead of the subcommand syntax, it would
be up to him (if you, as the responsible for such an implementation
still don't agree with him) to call for an offcial vote.
Then all devs
would vote according to some rules (which sandalle would be pleased to
come up with ;) ) and then you would have to comply with the result of
that vote. Of course, this is only an example on how things could be
done, but at least I think it would somehow end up in a productive
result.

What do you all think about that? (should we vote about it? ;) )

Cheers,
Mathieu.
