Why should yt-dlp commit to review their decision in the future about a project that makes no commitment (that I've seen) on reviewing their source code?

I get the idea to "battle-test" the rewrite first but (a) how does one even determine a reasonable timeframe for battle-testing that much LOC and (b) each vibe-coded update pushed to the Bun upstream basically resets the battle-testing timer. I guess you could lag behind $LATEST by a given window but that just brings us back to (a).

Given that part of their announcement is to keep supporting pre-rewrite versions of Bun, it implies to me that they are open to reconsider if the Bun team cleans up their act. I don't think it could get any more reasonable than that.
