They listened to the part of the community that agrees with you.

I'm "community" and I would prefer to have `try()` than not to have. They didn't listen to me.

They didn't listen to the community. It was not a democratically driven decision. They gathered feedback from the community, weighed it in, discussed it and took a decision considering all aspects. It's not like they listened to whatever had the most votes on Github. At least I'd like to believe they didn't.

I right there with you. I would have loved try() even as a stop-gap to something better.

"Listened to" is colloquial for "engaged with". They engaged with people who represented the `try()` option and declined to implement it.

It is impossible to implement every proposal their ears listened to so obviously that's not what listened means.

And they also "fast tracked" the decline "ahead of schedule".
