I disagree. Someone else boiled it down better: are OSS projects immune to criticism merely because you can fix them, given enough time? No. Doesn't matter whet

- skore 15y agoYes, I think I replied to that branch of the comments as well. And again: No, they are not immune to criticism, they have just set up a way in which criticism is handled in a particular manner, ie. channeled into discussions or in hands-on fixing. If you don't use either, you don't need to act surprised that they don't appreciate your criticism.

- akkartik 15y agoAre you saying criticism of firefox must be restricted to bug reports and mailing lists?
- skore 15y agoNo, but I'm saying that if you care about your criticism actually accomplishing anything, those are certainly the best addresses to ring a bell.
- jamesaguilar 15y agoDon't really see how you came to this conclusion. The very bug that's linked in this story was filed in the proper forum more than half a decade ago (i.e. it's a counter-evidence to your assertion).
