I am listening to some degree. - I guess that I am making some decisions
and conclusions in a way that you would prefer to be different.

I know that my update suggestions won't be liked by all contributors.

I agree here. - This impression can occur for a while.

I find that this situation is hardly avoidable according to my evolving number
of update suggestions.
In which time frames do you look for the corresponding software development process?

It's a pity. - I hope that the corresponding software development can still
be continued in constructive ways.

I have got a special opinion about patch squashing. But I can consider it
also for this update step when a corresponding consensus could be
achieved between contributors.
