I think you greatly underestimate how complicated these machines are. For instance, I just cannot imagine how these machines keep themselves so clean. My guess is "lots of disposables" but still, that must take years to get right.

Of course you can criticize, but people are continuously demanding things, like "he should have labeled it as a toy project", "he should have given reasons why he didn't accept the patch", etc. And Drew is very ri

As a maintainer, it is his choice which patches to accept. If you're not happy with his decisions, choose another project, fork it, or pay someone to do it for you.

I'm sorry but I must disagree: "sachzwangreduzierte Ehrlichkeit" is absolutely horrible. If you like this kind of talk, you'd make a good politician (or consultant).
