There's a new piece explaining "The Slow Collapse of #MkDocs": "How personality clashes, an absent founder, and a controversial redesign fractured one of Python's most popular projects."

Well, that says a lot. But what's really interesting is that MkDocs 2.x is being developed as part of the "encode" organization. That's great, right? The people who gave us such great libraries as #httpx?
Well, turns out no, not at all. It looks like encode has already crumbled and became immensely toxic.
httpx is not allowing bug reports anymore, apparently because of "absurdly skewed gender representation", whatever that means.

That also explained why starlette moved out of the organization a while back:

There's great rot in #OpenSource.
