Yes. If you continue discussing after that point, then you make a clear
statement that it isn't an accident. You are deliberately wasting their
time.
A lot of people already know this. But you're right that it would be
useful to make it even clearer. Maybe you could add a note about it to
each patch? Something along "I will not listen. I will not change.
Nothing you tell me will ever make it worth your time to do so"?
Just an idea...

I guess that such a condition is not needed.

I hope that most of my software development activities are not "an accident".
Is the intent for any update suggestion (like the renaming of a jump label
in this case) reasonable to some degree?
You are deliberately wasting their time.
I imagine that I do not really try to "waste" others time. But I am trying
also to change some "things".
There are circumstances when these contributions are interpreted as "wasted efforts".
Is the change acceptance usually higher for other update patterns?
Something along "I will not listen.
I am listening while my responses might not fit to your current expectations.
I will not change.
I have got also some personal change opportunities.
Nothing you tell me will ever make it worth your time to do so"?
While you can be so clear about a rejection for this software module at the moment,
other contributors showed occasionally more positive information.
