I remember this project starting. Not one single thing has changed that affects me as a result and I use Linux everywhere, daily. As far as I can tell it's a lot of small, niche work, that is almost completely immaterial to average users.

Meanwhile there's no stop scroll events across the ecosystem. The single biggest win that Linux touchpad needs is stop scroll events.

I'll bite my tongue on passing more judgement on how this effort has been portrayed over the past few years.

Depends on what you decided to use I guess. The touchpad experience is neat on gnome on wayland on a macbook/surface.
Right, I've looked before and happy to be corrected but none of that is the result of this project. In fact, the gestures present in GNOME, today, have been there since before the first blog post in this series.
There is stop scroll support in GTK4
Is this something like what Qt `QScrollerProperties::MaximumClickThroughVelocity` controls? It's not exactly an event, but a click-through would stop the scroll immediately.
