I think you're confusing X/Y and faith here. You're making the basic assumption that the comment itself is in bad faith because it's not formulated the way you expect. That doesn't stand up to scrutiny because everyone evaluates and expresses things differently, and many folks would consider that a bad faith evaluation of feedback (whether it is positive or negative in reality wouldn't matter). I think there's a stronger argument of an X/Y problem in the statement, since they talk about what they see as output vs what they expect to see instead. And frankly, I am disappointed too, as these people working on this project should have spent all that time understanding how Hashicorp actually handled the codebase and ensured that their own engineers followed the same quality level for development. They're all definitely capable of it, so they should actually do it. Otherwise it's going to be hard to trust the fork to succeed.
