OK fine. But my business is not to sell products, it's to maintain haproxy the best load balancer. It's other people's task to present it as an eye candy thing that attracts and pleases customers. And obviously I give my opinion from both a user's and a developer's point of view.
We work hand-in-hand : if I fail at my task, the product dies and the company suffers as well. If the company fails, I will have to find another way to eat my daily steak and that will necessarily affect the project. That's why the company helps me in this difficult task by hiring the developers I need to help me on this job and why in turn I freely express my opinion when people attack the company's motivations in a way that I find really unfair.
And if you want to get a better sense of what I'm saying, just issues this in the master branch to see who fixes most of the bugs, resulting in haproxy being really usable in production by all of us :
$ git shortlog --grep BUG v1.7.0..
