At least some contributors have certain expectations on gratitude that 
don't end with "thanks", and include a certain degree of autonomy. Like 
having the last word in a technical discussion, for example.

No one will argue with it, at least in abstract.

"incoherent packages" were your words.

Are we discussing docstrings now? The bulk of the preceding discussion 
had to do with either copyright assignment or function naming (e.g. 
using the s- prefix).

I am confident that if we just ask Magnar to keep the docstrings up to 
standard, it will be done without much fuss.
