It's a long-winded journey. > > Whilst indeed the spec is not final and breaking changes may happen, to say that the people who are using it, providing feedback, and contributing here are not "legitimate" users feels dismissive of their own efforts. > @Sidnioulz Thank you for taking the time to respond - I want to sincerely apologise if my choice of words came off as dismissive. That was most definitely not my intent. I have the utmost respect for the work everyone here is putting into this. On reflection, I think I have probably come to this group with the wrong attitude - I am here because I needed a standard, then I found that standard limiting in frustrating ways - so perhaps that frustration clouded my words. I apologise for expressing that frustration in a dismissive way. My concern was not meant to diminish the effort or legitimacy of the adopters or contributors - 'legitimate' was a poorly chosen word. I completely agree that early adopters and feedback is invaluable. I would consider myself in this group. -- GitHub Notification of comment by brettdorrans Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/pull/259#issuecomment-3291996419 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
