I do appreciate your review! No question about that.

I was just surprised by your reaction that your review feedback had been
ignored because I do not think this is the case.

We were in a disagreement and that is just fine. It is quite normal to
disagree. The question is whether that disagreement is fundamental and
poses a roadblock for merging. I definitely do not want and mean to push
anything by force. My previous understanding was that your concerns are
mostly about aesthetics rather than blocking further progress.
