I don't think F.Brennan (OP) is making any demands here. He's simply commenting on a pattern of forsaking the good for the perfect in a lot of repositories that, in his opinion, cause them to stagnate. I see no expectations, or demands in this post. Only disappointment at what OP sees as a missed opportunity. OP is a pretty prolific contributor to open-source, and I get that ones purview doesn't extend past ones owns projects, but it certainly affords perspective. I hardly think any of the comments in this post are anything OP or any project maintainer should take personally or as undue pressure. It's simply well-trodden commentary [0].
