Etymtree deletions

I notice that you recently mass-removed {{etymtree}} uses from pages, and then deleted ten {{etymtree}} pages. Some of these were replaced with {{desctree}}, which may or may not be completely unsustainable. I have not found any discussion or consensus for any of this. Or RFDOs for the template subpages, for that matter.

Care to explain?

...Is that a "No"?

I'm not sure what you're asking me to explain.

I would like you to explain what you hoped to achieve by removing {{etymtree}}, and why you deleted the pages, and further why you did this all without any discussion (if that is indeed the case).

The etymtree is horrible and unworkable. When I watch pages, I don't want to have to check for the presence of an etymtree template and watch it, just so I can keep track of edits to descendants. The new system I made doesn't have that issue. Why do you think {{etymtree}} is better?
