Eh, that was still during drinking coffee, so it barely reminds English
sentences. Let me try one more time:

It's more than one property and many other patch submitters were using
this reason as well. As a result, few TXT bindings grew from 5 to 10
properties within one year and there was still no conversion to YAML.

I understand your concerns however I have stronger motivation to do the
conversion, than for accepting new features.
