You’re a [Lorite](https://anathem.fandom.com/wiki/Lorite), I see, and so was Kohelet 😄

Seriously though, if by FUD you mean “Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt” (yeah, I had to google it), I didn’t have that impression in the discussion. Concerns were raised re the feasibility and implications of the approach. A proof of concept would have been helpful, but this not being a small undertaking, everyone being busy, and there being no pressing need (even @Maria-12648430 [found a good solution](https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/7364) to the problem she had back then), it all petered out.
