This has been rubbing me the wrong way for a while now, and I mentioned
it here:

Gemini is simply not well-suited to discussions like this. There's a
reason this ended up on the mailing list instead of continuing to
pollute our gemlogs.

We don't need Gemini to solve every problem. In fact, we shouldn't want
it to. This is one of the main appeals of Gemini.

So yes, lack of timestamps makes this use-case break. So what? Every
use-case isn't entiteld to working well on Gemini.
