The Emacs developers are volunteers doing this job on their own free
time and as much as their resources allow.  When there's something the
community would like to be done that the developers cannot afford
doing, it is customary to call for volunteers to fill that niche.
That's the spirit in Free Software projects developed by volunteers,
and there's nothing wrong with that, certainly not something that
deserves derogatory remarks such as the one above.
