I'm so tired of people purporting to speak for "the community" - especially when they diametrically oppose my own views. It feels a lot like they are co-opting me for their own agenda while simultaneously excluding me. The things mentioned as evidence that community doesn't matter have a lot of buy-in from the community. Modules in particular are an effort that - at least from what I can tell - is heavily driven by non-Googlers (in particular Rog Pepe, Paul Jolly and Daniel Marti are people who put a lot of work into making modules actually work for practical workloads). These kinds of pieces only make sense if you have an extremely limited view of who is or is not part of "the community" - in particular, if you throw everyone agreeing with the Go team out of that bucket.
