I agree, if I was the maintainer this would be an extremely tiring community feedback.
People coming in "I encountered a bug, I don't know what the bug is but I thought about it for a second and it's obviously your descision to do xyz".
As a maintainer, what are you supposed to do? It's not more useful than a ticket "somethings wrong idk what" which is useless enough to close without further action. But it puts the burden on the maintainer to a) figure out what's wrong based on basically no data whatsoever, then b) if they find it out figure out why then c), and that's the tiring part, review their process and create a defense for their approach, or admit that that thing that random user felt after trying out your software for 10 minutes is right, and that you were what? stupid to even think this would ever work? They never asked for any of this, and they're already doing so much work for free.
If the rsync maintainer reads this: You're doing incredible work and humanity appreciates your obviously incredibly competence in it, and not everyone feels the way these people do.
Moving to agentic workflows is obviously the right step and it already provides enough benefits to do it already. And mistakes are bound to happen (if the issue is even a mistake!) and there will always be people who cannot comprehend the power of agents and who will point the finger saying "I know it from the start! I've worked with these tools for 2 hours already and I can see they don't work! Idk why you think they do!". They're wrong. But mistakes will happen that otherwise wouldn't have - but that's the learning experience.
