The goal is simple: have a working tree right now.

Any new dependency atom stuff would need to be at least a GLEP. That is
a separate discussion which is not relevant here.

No, we're discussing how to avoid having a broken tree. It is entirely
possible to have technical discussions which are not 'bickering' or
'flame wars'. A thread with more than a half dozen posts often just
means something slightly tricky is under discussion.
