At the time of writing, the upvote:downvote ratio on the announcement issue is almost 1:20, so I'm initially skeptical about your implication that this is some kind of fringe part of the developer community. To me it seems more likely to be a culture clash - one team is used to developing closed source tools that have been highly prized by the company in the past, and another team has had great success writing open source tools that are widely adopted. My guess is that the adapter code project is currently within the former team's remit, leading to this situation -- but that's all complete conjecture on my behalf.
