I was doing some snooping around and found this earlier discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37602923 from September 2023 (234 points, 110 comments), which I had missed at the time, very related to this current subthread, and includes posts such as these (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37604635).

I think we as a community really need to have a conversation about ljharb and his role in the future of our industry. If he was only a library maintainer, that would be one thing, we could just move on, find workarounds, alternatives, etc. But his involvement in TC-39 makes him one of our rulers in a non-democratic structure. That makes this different.
