I'll happily wear that my assertion was heavy handed, mostly due to
long-term frustration, and to some extent, this is just the way I talk
(which never comes across in text to people who don't know me).
Regardless of how I phrased it however, I'm encouraged to see the message
was generally well received and actions have been taken. I'm keen to see
if/how it affects the ecosystem in the future.
I hope it does increase the overall attention/awareness.
