I actually had the exact opposite reaction.
I loved this article particularly because it gave specific, practical, targeted advice on how to really address what pg was talking about. Of course it's possible to reduce this to a "for dummies" implementation (We just need to write everything down and all our problems are solved!) but it seems pretty obvious, especially given Bryan Cantrill's reputation and influence, that this is not what he's arguing.
While I liked pg's post, the thing I found frustrating about it was precisely its lack of specificity. And, ironically, it's that lack of specificity that makes other actors (both well-intentioned and not) likely to "misuse" and/or redefine "founder mode" to be whatever they want it to mean.
