I'd like to address this specific example while trying not to derail this
thread. I agree with Alex and I was personally disappointed with this
interaction on the dev list. I'm sorry that it wasn't addressed in the
other thread. It is not fair to the authors who have worked hard on this
feature.

Features can and do have rough edges. It is important for us to engage
constructively in any conversations. If there are gaps, it is important to
file JIRAs or bring discussions with concrete, actionable feedback so that
the authors can work on it. Better yet, offer patches that the authors can
review. It doesn't necessarily imply that they will accept all suggestions
/ reports / patches as-is. They may act on the reports in consultation with
broader audience and stakeholders in the community. The social contract
exists on both ends - author and operator/users.

After this particular interaction on the dev list, Alex reached out to a
number of people who had concerns about TCM and collected their feedback.
This is going beyond my expectations.
