Sure, no worries.

This PR is affected by a re-writing of our history to remove a large number of accidentally committed files see discourse for details.

To recover this PR it will need be rebased onto the new default branch (main). There are several ways to accomplish this, but we recommend (assuming that you call the matplotlib/matplotlib remote "upstream"

git remote update
git checkout main
git merge --ff-only upstream/main
git checkout YOUR_BRANCH
git rebase --onto=main upstream/old_master
# git rebase -i main # if you prefer
git push --force-with-lease   # assuming you are tracking your branch

If you do not feel comfortable doing this or need any help please reach out to any of the Matplotlib developers. We can either help you with the process or do it for you.

Thank you for your contributions to Matplotlib and sorry for the inconvenience.

@timhoffm Do you still want to block this, even though that there hasn't been major reworking of rcparams since your last comment? (I'm totally OK if you do, in which case we should probably just close this.)

I would still put this on hold. The first step in rcParams redesign is #25617. More will come after that.

Let's just close this then.

Note: #26088 now uses the validators as is. But we may change that later.
