This, so much. I maintain corporate, closed-source components which are central to my org’s mission and have to request radical changes on PRs submitted by other teams on a frequent basis. It’s really not “perfectionism” to avoid introducing serious maintenance issues and bugs long-term.

This is like jwz’s interaction with the emacs team decades ago — the story was that the emacs team was being unreasonable about merging some changes jwz/Lucid wanted. If you actually read the correspondence, turns out jwz wasn’t listening to review feedback. The feedback was completely technically reasonable from a maintainer’s perspective and jwz/Lucid just wanted the code merged without consideration for the emacs team’s future plans.
