Here’s an open source phenomenon I cannot stand.
You propose a change, and maintainers agree it makes sense. But! This now makes them realize some other, related-but-independent stuff also could be better. So now they want you to expand the PR to fix that other stuff too before they accept.
PR author gives up. Everyone loses.
