We let the bleeding edge people take the hits. Having said that any product that is as ambitious as LE is is going to take a lot of heat for thing breaking. Its not like say PSF and all PSF modules are are run in the PSF address space. LE distributes its breaking all over the place and not necessarily the same way. PSF had real growing pains the first couple iterations because of people like us we had to have it or go back to XEROX machines. I was on the phone 2-6 times a day opening a new PMR but for the must part they were reasonably fixable. LE has its fingers in every programs and the hideousness of LE trying to figure out who did what and was there a new rule (restriction) that LE had that they did not want to document. After reading the one manual of LE conversion I think almost everyone would have shot their Grandma over the contents of 5 or 6 pages.
One time at SHARE I saw two people get into an argument that one took a swing at another attendee, no damage was done. Although I think they never spoke again to each other. LE was never well thought out in the long term and even in the short term the communications between modules at the time was (too me anyway) was like one team sabotaging what another team had done. The customer was caught in the crossfire.
