I agree that technical decisions tend to be weighted towards developers,
which is precisely the reason why this thread was open on the
mailing-list, rather than silently decided by a PPB. We needed to hear
from users in that specific matter, to weigh the real drawbacks of the
options we had.

That said, being offensive and not constructive actually weakens that
party and makes your opinion less likely to prevail. There is no excuse
for going beyond the line.
