We voluntarily impose mandatory code review upon ourselves because we believe this helps us ship better software at the end of the day. Because we all make mistakes. Contrary to problems with tech in society in general, we don't impose our code review process onto people who aren't directly involved. And it's entirely up to us how far we go with enforcing our self-made rules, by technical means or otherwise. So I don't think this analogy makes sense in this particular case. > As said Neels, I'll refrain from expressing my opinion again after this, > so just once more; A "community" that can operate without the technical > enforcement of rules will be a more healthy community. The community is healthy if this discussion ends up with consensus for some particular code review process we decide to try next. We'll only get there if people keep expressing opinions, listen to each other, and compromise willingly. So please don't stop voicing your opinions.
