Developer removing a library integration due to above politics
- Remove Quill Integration

It's unsafe to depend on Typelevel Libraries
Doobie removes Quill integration in order to make some sort of political protest. The Quill developers are harassed on Twitter.
- Why is tpolecat against ZIO?
- Removes integration with Quill, which is now part of the ZIO organization, which I will not support

Zio / Zionomicon : is it worth it ?
The libraries doobie and skunk are more closely associated with cats. They both use cats-effect and fs2 for implementing database connectiona and input-output operations. The doobie library is a wrapper on JDBC, and as such is compatible with many DBMS, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, H2, Oracle... Whereas skunk is specific to PostgreSQL, and is based on using the server protocol of that database.

Hiding Doobie's ConnectionIO implementation detail
You may find this issue helpful. tl;dr you can easily make a Transactor with the void Strategy that just ignores the null Connection. But I’m with Rob: at that point, you’re not actually testing anything.

A statement about my Scala open source work
The "progressive types" that are abusing and harassing people for years now for little to no reason, including simply contributing to a hugely successful library because they have a personal crusade against the original creator. The author of this post in particular has recently been accused of stalking and make a PoC woman fear for her safety in Berlin (where they both live) https://github.com/typelevel/general/issues/112, to which he gaslighted her and attempted (with success, apparently) to have the complaint removed https://github.com/typelevel/general/issues/113. He's also well known for doxxing and defaming people

Removes integration with Quill, which is now part of the ZIO organization, which I will not support
After a few years of unpleasantries this lead to a cease-of-desist and a response from someone that later had to leave Typelevel (the "shithead",-"asshole",-"rando",-"part of the reason this industry is so terrible"-incident).
