Surely it is desirable to have a critical voice, as long as it's grounded in
reality and is reasonably within emacs-devel tone parameters?  What I
would find more disturbing than an aggressive tone is the lack of these
kind of marginal discussions, and you having to be in Atlas' shoes
explaining everything.  I even encountered you at some point on some
obscure package's GitHub page, solving issues for people!  Kudos.
