The top comment in the thread explains it pretty well, so please don't pretend it's anything else. The point is they went from "chillax, it's just an experiment" to "we'll switch languages via a 1M line vibecoded patch" in two days. People that rely on this software are understandably fearful, since there is no way this change has been properly revised and tested. Although perhaps the mistake was relying on such software in the first place... And so are contributors too, which have seen essentially the entire codebase replaced in a week.
People relying on this software can absolutely choose to stay on current/recent versions until this becomes more mature. My assumption is that the current state allows for public testing, but anyone needing a stable version wouldn't be affected and can choose to not be affected by it.
Why "no way"? You're also forgetting extensive test suite?
Merging it so quickly only odd if you're planning on retaining current community.
It's not like it was merged and shipped to every single stable distro overnight. That's how things get tested.
