One of the link of past discussions was from Apr 2018 and discusses it. At that time GCC -fplan9-extensions support was too recent (gcc-4.6) to be considered. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180419152817.GD25406@bombadil...
Now the reasoning isn't present in the patch but it probably is because they want step increments and -fms-extensions is a small-ish first step. Maybe -fplan9-extensions could make sense later, in a few years.
Since with the Microsoft extension, it was just waiting until enough examples were woven into the discussion to overcome the back and forth that was preventing "biting the bullet".
Would the same occur with dark mode on a transparent background? While I am not saying that it would negatively effect the eyes, I am skeptical of this claim of letting the eyes relax, it seems like marketing.

Chinese Authorities Threaten Mainland Relatives to Shut Down Film Festival in New York

Even the subheading from the article seemed better: "Chinese Police Harass Filmmakers, Families to Undermine Free Expression Abroad"
Though I would of made it "Filmmaker's Families".
How can you be free if your family is held hostage. As soon as a person from China becomes free or achieves anything, this is what happens.
This is what they do just because of a movie they don't care for. Imagine how much further they go when they have a bigger ask for something they truly want.
The coercion is very strong, and why some end up in jail for spying or other criminal acts in the hosting country, even if they end up citizens, and love the place. Very messed up.

For me, a touch more Markdown like for text links [text](url) would be nice, not asking for image support or anything like that, though. As cool as the [0] is, the <a href=> tag and its predecessors were invented early on for a reason.
If that passes that's not just EU funds being misused but the EU directly mandating spyware on a continental scale!
They are exempt, but exemption won't help if they get hit by spyware.
