I highly recommend reading the PR discussion for this.

https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/971

Some summary:

* forced through without any discussion

* many maintainers raising questions, but no answers

* random changes attached to the PR (formatters, etc)

Wherever you land on types, I think we can agree that this is not an ideal way to make a change to a larger open source project. This has all the hallmarks of an executive decision made on a whim, and forced through at the last minute. Lead maintainers certainly have the right to make big changes on a whim, but giving people some notice before breaking other projects and having good communication is true leadership.
