Once again you're blithely ignoring my point and pretending I'm saying
something else.  And you did that again further down in the email, but
what's the point of arguing if you're not going to listen.

This has nothing to do with the organization of the existing
documentation.  When did I say that?

Adding the -flive-patching flag doesn't remove *all*
function-ABI-breaking optimizations.  It's only a partial solution.  The
rest of the solution involves tooling and processes which need to be
documented.  But you already know that.

If we weren't co-maintainers I would have reverted the patch days ago.
I've tried to give you all the benefit of the doubt.  But you seem to be
playing company politics.

I would ask that you please put on your upstream hats and stop playing
politics.  If the patch creation process is a secret, then by all means,
keep it secret.  But then keep your GCC flag to yourself.
