No, the bad light was shed by mattatobin opening the issue with the
Internet version of a punch to the nose rather than with a handshake.
The other stuff is tangential, IMO.

The issue may well have been resolved satisfactorily had mattatobin
taken a friendlier approach when he opened the issue.  Instead he
doubled down and the main developer didn't call him out so that reveals
a lot about the project developers.  Just like LP, this isn't a group I
would care to deal with as a packager.
