I don't think the comeback was rude because many great improvements to D 
came exactly this way - pull requests followed through by talented and 
interested contributors. On the other hand, if I were to criticize 
anything, Adam has a lot of great work brought to the proof-of-concept 
stage but not finalized. It would be great if we had some more finalized 
things.
