Temtaime said that Walter is setting the wrong priorities. Saying that 
he is doing "nothing useful" is a bit polemic, of course, but that 
probably stems from frustration. In context, it's hardly an "insult".

It's absolutely true that many reported issues don't get fixed for 
*years*. And that very much includes serious bugs. As far as I can tell, 
it's also true that Walter prioritizes new features instead (ImportC is 
the latest fad).

I sympathize with Temtaime. Their criticism wasn't sugar-coated, but it 
is constructive and it is valid in my opinion.
