You say "discussion", but many of the Gitlab developer comments in that thread consist of the same response copy-and-pasted verbatim in response to multiple different people, which comes across more as PR spin than as a good-faith attempt to engage in a discussion.

Why would there be a “discussion”? They knew their users didn’t want this anti-feature before they implemented it and they did it anyway.

Then they add insult to injury by pretending to “discuss” it as if user consent or participation has anything to do with this.
