Yeah, you did it, @pitiwazou! I was afraid you’d become the most-hated Blenderhead among the Blender devs. :grin:

I’m just a loud blender user guys :wink:
Devs decide what they do in blender.
I’m just happy they understood the request and people who supported the petition.

And I have my haters yes ^^

This is a much needed modifier.
Thank you Wazou! Keep being loud :slight_smile:
You’re one of those guys, working from the outside, that makes blender so much better. I dare not name the other guys in fear I omit someone. But blender without you guys just wouldn’t be as efficient and fun!

Great!!!

ToDo:
  
    Edge Collapse: collapse edges below the length threshold.

Is this to avoid this kind of zipper closure effect, for example:
weld_mod

That is, some kind of “Merge/collapse all instantly when it is detected that the first vertex has been merged”?
