I've only skimmed most of the comments, but getting old is seriously starting to hit me reading this.
There seems to be a large "old school open source" and "new school Github open source" culture clash here.
This sort of thing wouldn't even make for a 5 minute controversy on IRC back in the day. But I also can see valid points and the expectations developers who grew up in a different era now have. The olden days were certainly not perfect, but neither is the new age.
Certainly going to be interesting times as torches get passed for these huge fundamental open source projects over the next decade or two!
