Actually, you may recall that when you first brought this up this time
around, I (and others) _did_ try to find out what you were actually
unhappy about.
Spectators will note that you haven't actually given us anything useful
to work with; no PR numbers, no code fragments, in fact nothing
whatsoever of any substance.
Thus, I feel quite comfortable in reassuring other developers that your
hysterical complaints shouldn't be taken as a cause for alarm. If and
when you have something that actually looks like it might be enough
evidence for us to work with, we'll take you seriously.
