Maybe the reason why this was the number one criticism was that it was so prominently mentioned in the introduction of Arc. One complete paragraph on how hard it was to fix this in python and that it seemed to take whole year. And another large paragraph basically telling that it's trivial and could be done in a few days, but who cares anyway. This is simply the sort of writing where pg had to expect attacks.
