I suspect level heads will prevail if it's discussed calmly, as for the most part it seems to be. There are legitimate concerns on both sides.
The thing that I'd be keen gauge is just how much work do people on both sides feel 2FA is here? Packaging has changed a fair bit over the years - does dealing with those changes represent more or less effort than dealing with 2FA? My gut feeling is that 2FA would be set up in a fraction of the time spent futzing about with adopting the latest packaging methods. Now obviously this isn't a completely fair equivalency - perhaps packaging is also part of the process that maintainers love (!) but for most people it feels like a necessary step rather than the aim of the game. If there's another thing to compare it with that's better, I'm all ears.
