The way I read the mails up until now, I couldn't see anyone suggesting
to remove current infrastructure or resources.
Even if that was the proposition, I think it should be possible to point
out shortcomings in a politer way.
I just tried to put myself into the shoes of a Launchpad developer,
think how I put a lot of time into very boring, tedious and very generic
work to make Launchpad understand distros, derivatives, differences
between source packages, then reached a milestone and want to give
developers an update about what has been done and how it might be useful
to them, then I get a reply like the one above.
If I was on the LP team, I would find it disheartening and I would think
twice before I ever post something to the list again.
To sum it up: I think it's important to discuss, find problems and
solutions, but it should be in an encouraging and not in a demotivating
way.
