As I mentioned earlier, what you see is not necessarily what happened.
A few points:
1. Before removing dillon, we had had numerous requests from
committers ("non-core") to do so. We resisted for over a year.
2. We have had approximately the same number of people say "Wrong,
fool!" and "Thank you, finally". The differences are
i. The first group are mainly not src committers, and they
complain in public.
ii. The second group are not src committers, and they thank us in
private.
I don't know what that is, and I'm not objecting to public
criticism, but it's a thing to consider when evaluating the
community response.
